ST. CHARLES, Mo. — A motorist was seriously hurt Wednesday after driving into the back of a pumper truck that was parked in the right lane of Interstate 70 on an emergency call.
David J. Andrzejewski, 42, of O’Fallon, Mo., suffered two broken legs and other serious injuries, fire officials say. He was trapped in his car for about 20 minutes until firefighters could cut the car apart to free him.
Firefighters were delayed in freeing him because the tools they needed to pry his car apart were in the back of the pumper truck that was smashed in. They had to use a saw to get to the hydraulic tools.
