According to a report from the Hartley County Sheriff’s Office, an early morning accident on U.S. Highway 54 on Thursday, June 10 left one man injured and resulted in the death of some cattle as well as two semi tractor-trailers collided.

Dalhart and the surrounding area were enveloped in a heavy fog that morning that reduced visibility to anywhere from 20 feet to 50 yards. One semi loaded with 34 cattle pulled out from a feed yard onto Highway 54. The other semi was headed west on Highway 54 and collided with the trailer, actually splitting it in half.
