Semis sideswipe on 26

Jose Deleon, Othello, was injured Aug. 20 in an accident involving two semi trucks on Highway 26 just west of Colfax.

According to the report by State Patrol Trooper Keith Pigott, Deleon was driving a 2001 Kenworth semi tractor trailer eastbound on Highway 26 at 1:35 p.m. Tuesday when it sideswiped a 2005 Kenworth semi tractor truck being driven westbound by Brendan L. Arrant-Rathbone of Lewiston.

The report said Deleon crossed the centerline on a slight curve to the right and sideswiped the semi driven by the Lewiston driver.

A Colfax ambulance responded to the scene and treated Deleon at the scene.
