MANITOWOC (NBC 26) -- The Manitowoc Police shared video Tuesday of a crash involving two trucks.

The video was captured Monday by a Maritime (City of Manitowoc) Metro Transit Bus. Police say a garbage truck, being driven by a 39 year-old Manitowoc man, was turning north onto Memorial Drive from Mirro Drive when a semi-tractor/trailer traveling south on Memorial Drive collided with the garbage truck in the intersection.

The semi was being driven by a 52 year-old rural Manitowoc man. A 33 year-old Manitowoc female was a passenger in the garbage truck. All three people were injured in the crash and taken to the hospital.

Police say the driver of the garbage truck was cited for failure to yield the right of way while making a left hand turn.
