When the Ford’s driver was hit, his vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway and into the ditch where the pickup truck rolled over onto its top.
The Chevy’s driver was treated and released at the scene while the Ford’s driver was transported to Wayne HealthCare by Greenville Township Rescue for further treatment. The hospitalized victim was later released.
