The sheriff’s office also posted a photo showing the damage to the driver’s side.
“The driver of this semi did an incredible job of safely bringing the unit to a stop. Although he had minor cuts from glass and refused transport to the hospital, it could have been so much worse,” the sheriff’s office said.
They also asked drivers to “take the extra time and clean off vehicles.”
