A driver escaped with minor injuries Friday afternoon after a car struck the rear of a tractor-trailer on the 108 I-40 westbound exit ramp in Morrilton.
The truck’s bumper narrowly missed the car’s driver. Med-Tech EMS transported the driver to St. Vincent Hospital in Morrilton for treatment.
Morrilton firefighters were initially dispatched after a report that the driver was trapped in the vehicle. However, the driver freed himself before crews could begin extrication, and no rescue was required.
The Morrilton Police Department is investigating the crash.
