ONE KILLED WHEN U-HAUL CRASHES INTO SEMI-TRUCK NEAR COPPER MOUNTAIN COLLEGE

One person was killed Wednesday morning when a U-Haul truck crashed into the rear of a semi-truck near Copper Mountain College. About 8:20 a.m., the U-Haul rear-ended the semi on Highway 62 at Rotary Way, with the front end of the U-Haul wedged under the semi. An occupant inside the U-Haul was trapped inside, and rescue personnel used the Jaws of Life to extricate him, but the man succumbed to his injuries during the extrication. The California Highway Patrol is investigating.
