A truck driver is in the hospital after being badly hurt in a Dallas County crash Sunday.

Reports say an 18-wheeler struck a stalled car on east-bound I-20 in Lancaster, sending the semi rolling off the freeway where it toppled over on its side.

The cab of the truck was badly mangled and it took firefighters about an hour to pry the driver from the wreckage and rush him to the hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

The driver of the stalled car was already out when the crash happened and was not hurt.
