A male driver was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries after his car struck a tractor-trailer and partially slid under the vehicle, Des Plaines authorities said Wednesday.

The motorist did not see the truck backing into a dock area around 5:54 a.m. this morning at 2166 S. Mannheim Road and crashed into it, said Des Plaines Deputy Chief Mike Kozak. The man was extricated from his Honda Accord before being taken to the Park Ridge hospital, he added.

“As far as we know, it was non-life threatening injuries,” Kozak said.

The area was shut down for over an hour but is now open, Kozak said.
