Witnesses said the massive truck rollled two times, and crushed a GMC Yukon, which landed upside down, trapping the man driving.

It took more than a half hour to free him from his SUV, and he was airlifted to John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, where he was reported in serious but stable condition. Witnesses said he was talking and moving, when he was extricated from his vehicle.
