Two people were transported to local hospitals after sustaining injuries in a 3-vehicle wreck Monday morning near Boyd. 

The wreck occurred at about 6 a.m. in the 1200 block of Farm Road 2048.

The male driver of the pick-up was transported to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth via LifeTeam 68 in critical condition. The female driver of the van was extricated and transported to Medical City Decatur by Medic 1 with minor injuries. 

Preuninger said the driver of the rock hauler also suffered minor injuries, but was not transported to the hospital.

The names of the injured were not released. 

In addition to LifeTeam 68 and Medic 1, emergency crews responding to the scene were Medic 3, Rescue 1, EMS 2, Wise County Esd No. 1 Engine 112, Boyd Police Department and the Wise County Sheriff’s Office.
