A collision involving two semi-tractor trailers 2 miles east of the Oasis Truck Stop on Wednesday morning, August 18, blocked a section of both eastbound lanes of US 60 for most of the morning, as Canadian firefighters worked to extricate the injured Rocking T Trucking driver. Hemphill County EMT paramedics were on scene, stabilizing the as-yet unidentified truck driver and administering emergency aid, while firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free him from the wreckage. The other truck was hauling a trailer-load of power poles for North Plains Electric, and appeared to have sustained little damage. According to one HCSO officer, paramedics had checked that driver for injuries, as well. The accident was reported just after 10 am on Wednesday. When contacted for a preliminary accident report around 1:15 pm, Hemphill County Sheriff Brent Clapp said his officers and other first responders were still at the scene of the accident while DPS troopers investigated and the wreckage was cleared. No additional information about the cause of the accident or the condition of either driver was available.
