DPS Sergeant Alease Wilson said this (Thursday) morning AT&T has a temporary trailer set up around Highway 36, near the Oak Hill Acres neighborhood. The trailer has been equipped to get services back up and running to the area, from the neighborhood headed north towards Somerville.

Sgt. Wilson said AT&T is working on replacing the original building that was destroyed in Tuesday’s crash, when an oilfield tanker truck ran off Highway 36 North.

The driver of the 18-wheeler received minor injuries, but was not taken to the hospital. No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
