A Winlock man escaped with a bruise on the arm but his car was totaled when a semi truck changing lanes on Interstate 5 hit him overnight.

Harry B. Allen, 61, was southbound near Chehalis’s Main Street interchange as was a 2005 Peterbilt tractor-trailer, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Allen’s 2006 Ford Fusion rotated off the front of the truck and hit the median facing backward, according to the state patrol.

A trooper called to the scene at 2:35 a.m. cited the Twin Falls, Idaho truck driver for an unsafe lane change, the state patrol reported.
