One man was hospitalized and another refused treatment for minor injuries after both men were hit when their vehicles were sideswiped by a big-rig on the 57 freeway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the men had been involved in a minor fender-bender between their two vehicles, a Land Rover and a Ford F-150. The men were exchanging insurance information by the side of the road on the northbound 57 freeway when a big-rig sideswiped their vehicles. The force of the collision sent both vehicles sliding into the men.
A Toyota Camry that was also involved in the incident was trapped between the big-rig and the Ford F-150; the two women inside were stuck for 20 minutes before rescue crews could move the vehicles.
