The driver of the truck remained on scene and police say they have been cooperating with investigators.
“We’re now asking anyone else who saw what happened, or who has dash cam video, to come forward and speak with investigators,” said Sgt. Steve Addison. “Anyone who saw this collision likely thought it was very minor, and may not have stayed behind to speak to police.”
