Upon arrival, they found a black Honda Civic underneath the rear of the tractor truck.
The driver and sole occupant of the Honda Civic was trapped in the driver's seat. The Fullerton Fire Department responded, extricated her, and began life-saving measures before transporting her to a local trauma hospital, where she is currently in critical condition.
