Cosby, 39, of Philadelphia, Pa.,\u00a0was parked along the right shoulder of U.S. 30 shortly before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday when a 2005 Volvo semi driven west on Route 30 by Piotr R. Trojanowski, 43, of Des Plaines, Ill.,, slammed into the rear of Cosby&#8217;s trailer.<\/p>\n<p>The force of the collision trapped Trojanowski in the cab of his truck until a wrecker from Knippen Chrysler in Delphos arrived to pull the two rigs apart so Delphos Fire &amp; Rescue personnel could free the trucker from his wrecked vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Cosby was unhurt in the accident, but Trojanowski had a number of injuries, none apparently life-threatening, and was taken to St. Rita\u2019s Medical Center in Lima by a Delphos EMS squad. He was treated and apparently released later on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Trojanowski was also cited by the sheriff\u2019s department for failure to control a motor vehicle as a result of the crash.<\/p>\n<p>The westbound lanes of U.S. 30 were closed until debris, including between 70 and 100 gallons of diesel fuel that spilled from Cosby&#8217;s semi, could be cleaned up.
