According to initial emergency dispatch information, responders were called shortly after midnight when a vehicle collision occurred in the eastbound lanes of Highway 640. Upon arrival, first responders located a damaged vehicle and immediately began assessing the situation. One individual was found injured, and paramedics initiated treatment at the scene before preparing for hospital transport.
