One person went to the hospital with serious injuries after a crash involving a semi tanker hauling human waste, an SUV and a truck towing an RV near the intersection of Weld County Roads 74 and 31 north of Greeley on Tuesday afternoon, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Sgt. Rob Madden said.
Emergency crews ripped the roof off the mangled tow truck to free people from inside. The semi tanker, flipped on its side, the top of its cabin ripped off, its engine block twisted and unrecognizable. The tanker leaked its contents onto the road, filling the snowy, bitter-cold air with the smell of human excrement. The SUV sat in the intersection, its front smashed in and rear driver-side door ripped off.
Three ambulances transported people to Medical Center of the Rockies, including the driver of the SUV and people freed from the truck.
