According to a social media post, made about 6-hours after the 3 A.M. crash, Sabetha fire crews were assisted in their efforts at the fiery crash site by the Morrill Fire Department, Brown County Rescue, Deputies from the Brown and Nemaha County Sheriff's Offices, and the Kansas Highway Patrol. Emergency Management personnel, from both counties, also responded, along with crews from the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Although only minor injuries resulted from the wreck, U.S. Highway 75, in the area of the semi-crash, remained closed through Thursday. An alert message, from the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office was sent shortly before 5:00 Thursday evening, alerting the public that the roadway had reopened.
