Laurel- The Delaware State Police are investigating a two vehicle crash in which a tractor and trailer overturned trapping the operator that occurred this morning outside of Laurel.
 
The crash happened at approximately 6:50 a.m. this morning as Aaron Jefferson, 25, was operating a 2002 GMC Envoy and was traveling westbound on Concord Road just east of Kaye Road. For an unknown reason, Jefferson’s vehicle crossed the center line where it then struck the front left side of a 2011 International tractor pulling a flatbed trailer and which was being operated by Ronald Kolarik, 60. After the collision, the tractor trailer skidded off of the roadway and then rolled onto its side, trapping Kolarik inside. He was eventually freed by members of the responding fire company and then transported to the Nanticoke Hospital where he was treated and released for his injuries.
 
Aaron Jefferson was also transported from the scene by EMS to the Nanticoke Hospital where he was treated and admitted with non life threatening injuries. Jefferson was cited by Troopers for the above charges.
