A motorist in Marshall county is lucky after escaping what officials called “a serious crash” with non-life-threatening injuries.

It happened shortly before 3:30 Friday afternoon at the intersection of U.S. 30 and King Road. A State Trooper reported that he saw a semi fail to stop at a red light and crash into a sedan.

The drive of the car was a 19 year-old Fort Wayne woman and investigators credited her seat belt with preventing more serious injuries.

The semi driver was unhurt and was ticketed for running the red light.
