The report states the injured truck driver and Hall were both taken to CHI Mercy Medical Center with injuries. Hall has been charged with several offenses, including assault, two counts of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, reckless driving and reckless endangerment. According to OSP, he was still at Mercy at last check and will be transported to jail once he is medically evaluated.
