    State Troopers said that 72-year-old Kathy Proffitt and 72-year-old Douglas Proffitt were injured when the Nissan Altima they were in was hit by a tractor-trailer that allegedly suffered some kind of mechanical failure. The initial impact pushed the Proffitt’s car into a nearby barrier before it rolled.
