A passenger in a car was rushed to hospital after the vehicle she was riding was in collision with a truck.

At 3.50 p.m. on Thursday, as a car attempted to overtake another vehicle on Middle Road in Southampton near Barnes Corner, it hit the truck travelling in the opposite direction.

The driver of the car, a 34-year-old Southampton man was not injured, but his female passenger was taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital for her injuries. She had been released by yesterday.

The 22-year-old Smith's woman who was driving the truck was not injured although her vehicle was moderately damaged on the front.

The car, however, received extensive damage on the front.

Inquiries into this incident are underway.
