Neuenschwander was injured in the crash and transported by ambulance for treatment.

It traveled into the path of an oncoming eastbound semi-truck and trailer driven by Daniel R. Hyer, 45, Lancaster. Hyer took evasive action but was unable to avoid the collision. He reported no injuries. Neuenschwander's vehicle was severely damaged and towed. The airbags deployed. Hyer's semi-truck sustained severe front-end damage and was also towed.
