MAPLE PARK – A portion of Route 38 was closed Tuesday morning as police and tow trucks removed a semi-trailer from the side of the road.

A black sedan was passing another vehicle while traveling east on Route 38 west of County Line Road about 10 a.m. Tuesday when it struck a semi-tractor. The truck was rounding the corner, and the sedan struck the trailer, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office.

Sgt. Ryan Braden said both drivers refused medical attention. The driver of the semi-tractor was still at the scene, standing, while Braden noted the ambulance containing the sedan driver drove away without its sirens on.
