A semi-truck collided with a Buick SUV earlier today, at the base of the Sky Bridge and Main Street, running into the driver’s-side door. Witnesses say it appears the Buick was attempting to pull into San Carlos Boulevard when the red semi truck, heading east, toward San Carlos Island collided with the vehicle.

Many passers-by attempted to help the passenger out, but it was only until the authorities arrived minutes later that medical action was taken.

Another witness stated the truck, heading east on the Sky Bridge, was braking for quite some time before the collision, trying to prevent the actual occurence.

An extrication device was used on the driver’s side door.
