Quinlan, TX — A serious motor vehicle accident unfolded late Tuesday evening at the intersection of Morris Drive and North Shore Road, drawing a large emergency response. The incident involved two vehicles that sustained moderate damage, with initial reports indicating there may be three individuals requiring medical attention. Authorities acted quickly to secure the area and assist those involved.
The Quinlan Fire Department was first to arrive on scene while originally en route to a separate medical call. Upon encountering the accident, they immediately diverted resources and began assessing the situation. According to their initial update, two vehicles were involved, both showing visible signs of impact damage. Firefighters began providing first aid while waiting for additional support.
Shortly after the Quinlan Fire Department arrived, units from Hunt County EMS, South Hunt County Fire & Rescue, and the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office responded to assist. Their presence brought both medical care and traffic control to the busy intersection. Emergency teams worked together to evaluate the condition of the three individuals believed to be involved in the accident.
By approximately 10:15 PM, authorities confirmed that there were possibly three patients in need of treatment. Paramedics quickly initiated triage procedures to determine injury severity, while fire personnel helped stabilize the scene by addressing vehicle hazards and clearing debris from the roadway.
At the time of reporting, officials had not released specific details regarding the identities or medical conditions of those involved. It remains unclear whether any of the individuals would require transport to a hospital. Law enforcement officers on site began gathering witness statements and examining both vehicles to establish the cause of the accident.
Traffic in the surrounding area was temporarily diverted as crews worked to manage the aftermath. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes, with authorities emphasizing safety and patience due to the active emergency scene. Road closures remained in effect until both vehicles were cleared and hazard assessments were completed.
Investigators from the Hunt County Sheriff’s Office are expected to review all available evidence, including possible traffic camera footage and witness accounts, to piece together the full sequence of events leading up to the crash. The intersection of Morris Drive and North Shore Road has since reopened, but officials have not yet released a final report on the incident.
Community members are encouraged to remain cautious when traveling through that area and to report any additional information to local authorities as the investigation continues.
