James Saunders.<\/p>\n<p>The truck rear-ended a Toyota SUV towing a camper trailer, and the impact sent the truck\u2019s front wheels into the camper\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n<p>The Toyota then rear-ended a stopped van.<\/p>\n<p>Saunders said traffic was not delayed significantly because the flagging crew adjusted traffic-control barriers in a way that kept the line flowing in both directions.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford 550 truck driver was transported to Southwest Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, he said. The camper was destroyed.
