Large vehicles such as trucks can cause serious injury if involved in an accident, our thoughts are with the victim’s family.

The accident occurred at about 4:20 in the morning on December 5, on Route 17. The two semis apparently hit each other due to slowed traffic around a construction zone. The driver of the Coca-Cola truck was tragically killed, while the driver of the other truck was uninjured.
