An Afton 9 year-old is admitted to a Joplin hospital after being pinned in a semi truck crash.

According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the child was riding in the semi driven by 43 year-old Scott Heronemus of Afton on Nowata County Road East-West just after 1:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Officers learned Heronemus was driving too fast on the slick roadway and the truck slid and rolled 3-quarters of the way over and landed on its side.

Heronemus refused treatment for minor cuts on his arms. The boy was admitted with head injuries.
