No one was injured when a semi passing a pickup pulling a trailer reportedly cut off the pickup on Wednesday afternoon causing it to leave northbound I-57 four miles south of Salem.

Initial information from the Marion County Sheriff’s Department indicates the pickup driven by Brandon Mattmiller of Odin became stuck in the trees after being pushed off the roadway.  There was no apparent contact between the two vehicles.  The semi did not stop, and the pickup had to be towed out.

In addition to the driver of the pickup truck, four passengers in the vehicle escaped injury.

United Medical Response and Salem Fire Protection District were cancelled when the driver called and said he was not injured.

The crash occurred at 2:01 Wednesday afternoon.
