Hollister – Three people were injured Wednesday night when a tractor-trailer rear-ended their pickup truck on Highway 156, delaying traffic for more than an hour.
The crash occurred at 3:20pm in the westbound lane of Highway 156 at the intersection of Fairview Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The three injured people were flown by two helicopters to San Jose area hospital, the CHP reported. CHP Officer Mike Steele Jr. said it was a major injury crash.
