Around 9:45 Thursday night Troopers from the NC State Patrol
responded to Highway 221 in Rutherford County, about 1 ½ miles from the South
Carolina state line.
A 18 wheeler was traveling north and was delivering some
products to a local facility when it missed the entrance to the facility. The
driver of the 18 wheeler attempted to back down the highway in the southbound
lane and in doing so, the driver of a 1999 Oldsmobile sedan did not see the
truck in time and struck the rear axle and went underneath the truck.
The driver of the Oldsmobile was entrapped for a short
period of time and was alert and talking when he was transported by ambulance
to Rutherford Regional medical Center.
The driver of the 18 wheeler was cited with a safe moving
violation and driving left of center.
