Woman Hits DOT Truck, Crashes Down Embankment
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
A Department of Transportation driver said a woman side-swiped him overnight Friday, and she ended up crashing down to an embankment.
It happened on Interstate 77 southbound to Interstate 85 at about 2 a.m.
The DOT driver said he was driving a truck that protects a sweeper truck when a woman in an SUV tried to go around it on one side. He said she then swerved and tried to go around it on the other side.
The woman in the SUV clipped the side of the truck, tore off part of the side of the SUV and crashed down an embankment.
The DOT driver said he walked down the embankment to help the woman. She was taken to the hospital, but her condition was not released.
Investigators have not said if she will face any charges.
