A Champaign woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 74 between Prospect Avenue and Neil Street on Thursday afternoon.

According to a state police report, Ayika Tshimanga, 21, of Champaign, was at the wheel of a white Pontiac Grand Am traveling on the eastbound entrance ramp from Prospect at 12:27 p.m.

Meanwhile, Senad Dedovic, 33, of Woodbury, Conn., was driving his 2013 Freightliner tractor-trailer truck in the center lane of I-74 going the same direction.

Dedovic pulled over to the right shoulder of the highway. He was not injured.
