AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Two people were sent to the hospital after an afternoon collision near the intersection of Highway 136 and FM 1912.

According to Pronews 7 crews on scene, the incident was between two semi-trucks and an SUV. The SUV was traveling westbound on FM 1912 when it allegedly pulled out in front of a semi-truck traveling northbound at the intersection of Hwy.136. The semi was then pushed into another semi.

The injuries were not life threatening. The female driver of the SUV was taken to an area hospital by LifeStar. The male driver of one of the semi trucks was transported by ambulance to the hospital.

The Dept. of Public Safety, Potter County Sheriff's Dept., Potter County Fire rescue and AMS all responded.

Westbound Hwy.136 was shut down for a short time but traffic has since resumed. Currently, traffic has now resumed normal pace.
