Two Semi's Tangle on I-40 at Mile Post 40


Golden Valley Firefighters responded to eastbound I-40 at milepost 40, at 08:10 A.M. Saturday morning where they found two Semi/Tractor Trailers had collided. One occupant needed to be extricated from the sleeper of one of the trucks. That occupant was transported to KRMC with non-life threatening injuries by RMI. There were 3 other individuals involved and all refused medical treatment. After medical care was provided and the vehicles were stabilized for any further hazards, the scene was turned over to DPS and A.D.O.T. which had the highway reduced to one lane while they investigated and removed the wreckage.
