A 38-year-old Manchester man was seriously injured when the vehicle he was driving ran into a tractor-trailer stopped on Route 30 south of Hampstead about 5:50 a.m. yesterday.
Bruce E. Haines Sr. of the 3300 block of Augusta Road was flown to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. He was listed in serious and stable condition, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
