A Honda and another car were unable to stop in time and slammed into the truck. The Honda’s roof was sheared off after it drove under the drawbar of the trailer. The 16-year-old female driver of the Honda and her 21-year-old passenger suffered only minor injuries. No one in the second vehicle was hurt.
