Duman began to move into the right lane, causing Litteneker to take evasive actions by driving onto the shoulder and accelerating. Dumans semi made contact with Littenekers rear quarter panel, causing Litteneker to lose control, crossing over the left lane in into the grassy median between the highway and the Lower Port of Entry. Littenekers vehicle struck a lamp post and rolled coming to rest in the median. Duman was cited for inattentive/careless driving.
