A Great Plains Health helicopter lands on Highway 6&34 a mile east of Culbertson shortly after 9 a.m., today, preparing to fly a traffic accident victim away from the scene. The accident involved a pickup and a semi-truck pulling a trailer loaded with corn. The pickup came to rest up-right in the north ditch; the truck tipped onto its passenger side in the south ditch. Corn spilled onto the highway from the upset trailer. The highway was closed for a time and traffic was diverted onto a Hitchcock County gravel road. More information will be released by the Hitchcock County Sheriff's Department after the conclusion of its officers' investigation of the accident.
