A 69-year-old man sustained traumatic brain injury (TBI) when his pickup truck and a tractor trailer collided in Pennsylvania last Thursday, according to Phillyburbs.com.
The accident victim, who Sunday remained hospitalized, hasn’t been identified by authorities.
About 10 a.m. a John Christner tractor trailer struck the pickup at the intersection of Route 309 and West Pumping Station Road, Phillyburbs.com reported. The pickup was thrown over an embankment and fell into a retention basin near a shopping center.
The pickup’s driver was flown to a local hospital for care of his brain injuries, Phillyburbs.com said.
The tractor trailer driver, a 39-year-old Tennessee man, submitted to blood tests at a local hospital.
