Between a Tank and Hard Place
Exiting the Uptown Mini Mart in Hailey after making a delivery Wednesday, a fuel truck collided with a Ford Escort that was entering the lot on Main Street. Neither driver was injured in the accident nor was the fuel tank compromised, said Hailey Police Chief Brian McNary. But the Hailey Fire Department had to be called out to safely separate the vehicles. Danny Warren, 41, of Pocatello, was driving the 1997 Bowen Trucking Peterbilt Sleeper. Dustin Wilson, 35, of Bellevue, was driving the 1993 Escort. Police said both drivers saw the accident coming but were unable to react quickly enough to avoid the collision in the narrow driveway of the gas station. Photo by David N. Seelig
