    LANCASTER COUNTY— A woman escapes without injury in a two vehicle crash this morning on Route 30. A truck driver did not notice slow moving traffic and hit the brakes and swerved to avoid hitting the mini cooper and rolled the truck.

    No injuries were reported at the time of the accident. Traffic has been backed up this morning due to the crash.

    That is why I hate being last in line of a traffic jam. Glad no one was hurt.

    From the looks of the first pic I though the roof had just caved in a bit, glad no one was in the back.

    And that is why my hand is always going to the Hazard light switch when I'm slowing on the highway like that.

    Too bad MINI puts it in a hard to reach place.....
