Two people injured in a Thursday morning I-74 truck - semi collision

Two drivers avoided life-threatening injuries in a truck-semi collision on I-74 Thursday morning.

 

Just before 10 a.m., the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department says Faith Wright, 45, of Franklin was driving a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado entering I-74 from SR 44. Wright lost control on the wet roadway and her truck bounced off the guardrail and back into the travel lanes of the interstate.  Wright’s truck was then struck by a semi driven by Roshon Bethea, 33, of Bennettsville, South Carolina.

 

From there, Bethea lost control of the semi when his load shifted and it flipped onto its passenger side.

 

Wright and Bethea were taken to IU Methodist by land ambulance.
