by Alex Lloyd Gross
A two-vehicle crash sent a female to the hospital with serious but non life threatening injuries, including broken ribs, when her car slammed into the side of a tractor trailer about 2:15 PM today on Harbison Ave., at Comly Street.
The driver of the truck, Cedrick Gladden, from Georgia, was uninjured and walking round the scene. Gladden said he was driving on Harbison Avenue, going towards Frankford Ave., when the car came into the intersection from Comly Road. The car rotated a bit and came to rest in the intersection after the collision.
The truck came to a controlled rest against the curb about 15 feet from the scene. The front wheels were bent, as well as the bumper and side of the truck. Police said neither vehicle had any passengers. Harbsion Ave was closed to traffic for about 45 minutes.
