Wreck Sends One to Hospital

One person had to be rescued from his pickup truck by the Sallisaw Fire Department's Jaws of Life, placed on a backboard and transported to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw, after a head-on collision Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Maple and Dutch Street in Sallisaw. Sallisaw police were not releasing the names of those involved until the report on the collision is completed. Witnesses said two pickup trucks were passing when one went over the center line and struck the other head on. The collision caused the second truck to veer off the roadway, break through a privacy fence and into a residential yard. The Sallisaw Fire Department was also called to the scene for what was believed to be a resulting fire, but the smoke was actually stream from a broken radiator.
