Patch reader Janiece Elliott sent in this dashboard photo of an accident on Treat Boulevard Tuesday.
It took firefighters a while to extricate the driver of the dump truck, which collided with the back of a Lucky's semi truck, said Elliott. The driver was transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries, reported Fire Marshal Lewis Broschard of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
The accident took place around 10 a.m. Tuesday on Treat at Buskirk Ave. The dump truck's cabin was smashed, Elliott reported.

If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
