SHERMAN -- Several wrecks dotted the landscape on Tuesday, four of them occurring within minutes.
The first one, on North Travis Street, was the only one with where people were injured severely enough to be taken to an area hospital for treatment.
A northbound Ford SUV collided with a southbound 2007 Ford passenger car, which had made a left turn in front of the SUV as it was entering a business' parking lot. Sherman police officer Mark Wood said two people, both Sherman women, were taken to Wilson N. Jones Medical Center, but no injuries appeared to have been life-threatening.Before officials were through clearing North Travis Street, two fender-benders were called in on East Houston around Grand Street. And only minutes later, Sherman police, ambulances, and fire trucks were called to a three-vehicle wreck on U.S. Highway 75 at the Park Street overpass. The wreck occurred when a car struck a truck and pushed it into an Atlas Van Lines truck, Woods said. The car spun and came to a stop in across both lanes of traffic.
No one was transported to a hospital. Police re-routed traffic onto the east service road around the wreck.
