The trailer attached to the pickup separated from the vehicle and came to rest on its side. The semi crossed the centerline and departed the roadway to the left before coming to rest blocking US 81, the OHP report said.

The driver and two passengers in the pickup were transported to the hospital. The driver of the semi truck was not injured.

Several agencies responded to the scene including Union City Fire Department, Minco Police and Fire Department, Tuttle Fire and EMS, Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office.
