CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A driver was taken to the hospital to be checked out Tuesday after police said he crashed into the side of a semi-truck on the SPID ramp between Everhart Road and Staples Street.
It happened shortly after 2 p.m. Tuesday. According to authorities, a male in his 40s was driving along a portion of the roadway that was closed to traffic. His vehicle collided with the side of a semi-truck and part of the vehicle became stuck on the truck's trailer.
The driver was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Meanwhile, traffic along the SPID access road was reduced to a single lane.
Police said they do not believe alcohol played a role in the crash, but it is still under investigation. They said no one else was hurt, but that some nearby construction workers were almost struck during the incident.
