[TowNews]

Limited Information is available on this one.

 

The report stated: Wednesday night at around 9pm on Interstate 86 between the Chemung and Wilawana exit heading east the rollback was struck by a tractor trailer.

 

The bed was down and the vehicle was loaded. The tech was just starting to strap the van down and the customer had just retrieved something from the drivers seat and walked around the backside of the vehicle when it all happened.

 

 

A tractor trailer drifted off the roadway and up the driver side of the rollback bed like it was a ramp. The van on the bed was struck with the trailer hitting the headache rack and the corner of the cab. The driver then proceeded to flee the scene. The tech and the customer were shaken but unharmed.

 

 

The police caught up to the truck driver at the Wilawana Dandy. He had pulled in and parked trying to hide.
