KEMP, Texas — Firefighters from three departments removed the roof of a vehicle in extrication efforts to free a driver involved in a crash with an 18-wheeler on Tuesday morning in eastern Kaufman County.

Firefighters from Kemp, Mabank, and Kaufman responded to the crash involving a passenger vehicle which struck the back of an 18-wheeler trailer — entrapping the driver.

Tools were utilized to remove the entirety of the roof and driver-side doors to gain access to the patient, extricate, and ultimately transport the patient to a Dallas-area hospital.

There was no word Tuesday evening on the driver's current condition.
