Crash involving 2 pickups on US-287 in Rhome seriously injures 2

RHOME, TX – Two people sustained serious injuries Friday evening when two pickup trucks collided along a highway in southeast Wise County, reports The Messenger.

Emergency teams responded to the accident around 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of US-287 and County Road 4840, which is just west of the Ranch at Rhome RV Park.

The investigation thus far indicates that a northbound Chevy Silverado carrying three people struck a westbound Chevy S-10 carrying two after the latter vehicle neglected to yield appropriately.

An air ambulance transported the driver of the Chevy S-10 to a local hospital, while the passenger, who was also critically hurt, went to the hospital via ground ambulance.

No other injuries have been reported in connection to the crash.

Officials closed the highway until 7 p.m. while crews worked to clear the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
