(Lewis) One person was injured Tuesday morning in Cass County, during a collision east of Lewis between a semi tractor-trailer and a passenger vehicle. The crash happened a little after 8-a.m. the intersection of Highway 71 and Oxford Road.

Authorities says the driver of the vehicle was transported by Cass EMS to Cass Health, in Atlantic. The accident happened when the vehicle that was traveling west on Oxford Road pulled out from a stop sign, and into the path of the northbound semi.

Following the collision, the semi ended up in the west ditch, while the other vehicle came to rest in the center of the roadway. No names have been released.

Crews with the Cumberland and Massena Fire Departments, Lewis Fire Department, Cass EMS, and the Cass County Sheriff’s Office responded and assisted at the scene.
