An 86-year-old Hendersonville woman was injured Friday when her vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer on Highway 64 in front of Denny's.

Jean Mullinax Silver was driving a Buick LeSabre at about 1 p.m. when she attempted to turn left into the Denny's parking in the Bi-Lo shopping center and was struck on the passenger side by a white 2006 International tractor-trailer truck traveling east, said Capt. Bruce Simonds with the Hendersonville Police Department. 

Silver appeared responsive as firefighters, using the Jaws of Life, removed the driver's side door and placed her on a stretcher. EMS personnel took her to Pardee Hospital.
The driver of the truck, Adam Pflanz of Chesnee S.C., appeared uninjured. Charges are pending against Silver, Simonds said.
