The car had crossed the center line and crashed into the tractor-trailer. The truck was heading south while the car was heading north when the collision occurred at 9:15 am, July 24, 2017, across the street from Morgan Automotive.

The 18-month tot was taken to Lancaster General Hospital for treatment and expected to be released later Monday afternoon, said Police.
