Highway 287 is back open this morning after an accident had it closed for nearly two hours Monday night. State troopers say it happened two miles south of Lamar on 287, in Prowers County.

Two semi trucks collided while one was trying to make a U-turn on the highway. Troopers say one of the drivers was taken to a nearby hospital with serious injuries, the other had minor injuries.

Troopers say the highway was closed for an hour and forty-five minutes while the highway was being cleared.

Neither alcohol nor drugs are not considered a contributing factor in the crash.
