Hazmat was called to the scene of an early morning crash on Tuesday near Temple, Texas, when two semis collided. A diesel fuel truck was headed southbound on Highway 317 when the driver attempted to turn left, directly into the path of an gravel truck. The 18-wheelers collided side-by-side, avoiding a more dangerous head-on collision. Diesel spilled from the tanker into a ditch, requiring the Hazmat cleanup. The driver of the gravel truck was taken to the hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. For more details, click here.
