A head-on crash involving two pickup trucks in Ann Arbor Monday morning sent one of the drivers to the hospital with leg injuries.

The crash occurred on West Liberty Street at Soule Boulevard about 10:30 a.m., Ann Arbor firefighters said in a news release.

A man driving a Ford pickup truck was unable to get out of the truck after the crash. Firefighters got him out, and paramedics from Huron Valley Ambulance took him to the University of Michigan Hospital.

The other driver, who was driving a Dodge pickup, was treated for injuries at the scene.

Ann Arbor police did not have details on what caused the crash.

Clash of the Titans...seems to me that full sized pickups love to tailgate and intimidate. Maybe they were having a contest.
