The sheriff’s office says a preliminary investigation showed a car traveling eastbound on the county road pulled into the path of a pickup truck on northbound 41. 

Investigators say the truck “t-boned” the car sending the vehicle around another car traveling northbound across a ditch and into the Pilot Truck Stop parking lot where it hit a parked van.
