LAWRENCE TWP., Mich. – A woman was seriously injured Tuesday after crashing with a semi-truck on I-94.

The woman told Michigan State Police that she was driving eastbound in the left lane about 7:30am when she lost control of the vehicle after being blinded by the morning sun.  She veered into the right lane, in front of a semi-truck also heading east. The truck hit her and pushed into the guardrail.  She bounced back into the road and was sideswiped again by the truck.  Her vehicle ended up in a ditch.

The semi-truck driver also lost control and ended up in a ditch on the same side of the highway.

The woman suffered serious, but non-life threatening injuries.  The truck driver was not hurt.
