A 48-year-old Mt. Vernon woman was injured when a semi-truck turning from West Main onto Missouri Avenue cut the corner too short and ran over the rear of a car waiting at the stop sign on Missouri Avenue.

Salem Police say Linda Copple of Fairfield Road was taken to Salem Township Hospital for treatment of apparent minor injuries.

The driver of the semi, 39-year-old Eric Warren of New Orleans, Louisiana, escaped injury and was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

The crash occurred at two Friday afternoon.
