Nora Hernandez, the driver of the Chevrolet Cruze which collided with the fire truck on Highway 349, was taken by ambulance to Medical Arts Hospital but did not appear to have suffered any major injuries, according to Trooper Crow. A Lamesa woman sustained what were believed to be minor injuries and a city fire truck was damaged in a collision Monday afternoon a few miles south of Lamesa on State Highway 349. Nora Hernandez, age 27, was taken by ambulance to Medical Arts... The accident happened while the fire truck was en route to a fire in a vent at an oilfield tank battery near FM 2051 about seven miles west of the Friendship Community in southwestern Dawson County. Trooper Crow said Weaver missed the turnoff from Highway 349 onto FM 2051 and was making a U-turn on Highway 349 when the collision occurred. Hernandez, the driver and lone occupant of a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze, was southbound and struck the left side of the 2006 International truck as it pulled across the highway during the turn, according to Trooper Crow.
