Five Injured in Truck Accident

A driver possibly fell asleep while driving a truck causing a fiery truck accident. The truck driver reportedly fell asleep which led to the truck rear-ending a van. The truck then crossed two lanes and struck a guard rail, which led to a car in that lane colliding with the truck. The car then caught on fire which spread to the truck. As a result of the truck accident, four people were transported to the hospital for care and one person suffered minor injuries but did not seek care. The truck driver was cited on a charge of careless driving.
