A morning commute took a stressful turn for two motorists on Thursday, July 11th. A white Chevrolet Malibu and another, unidentified, vehicle collided at the intersection, reports indicated. The impact sent the Chevy Malibu roughly 30 feet off the roadway. The damage to the Malibu left the driver pinned inside the vehicle. The other vehicle involved remained on the roadway with major damage, according to reports from the scene.

He was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a local hospital to receive treatment for serious injuries, officers reported.
