Published by Joe Burgess April 15th, 2008 in WRECKS.
Around 7 a.m., the driver of the Saturn SUV shown above lost control of the vehicle, as he was driving south, around 10 miles north of Monticello.
The vehicle appears to have left the highway, struck a large culvert and flipped on it’s roof.
The driver was transported to Drew Memorial Hospital.

this wreck started in my drivew. The driver left the road in my north driveway traveling south, wiped out my mailbox & continued on down the side of the ditch going across my south driveway & continued til he hit the culvert embankment in a small creek & then flipped the suv. He’s lucky to be alive, but I understand his dog was killed in the accident. I thought when I heard the impact & the boom that a big truck tire had blown out & had continued on down the road. I had no idea all this had happened til I went out to get my morning paper & the deputy, ambulance & wrecker were all there along with others who had stopped. I had only been up for a few minutes when all this happened. It is just a bad place on the highway as there have been several one vehicle accidents in the 31 years I have lived at this address. I’ve even had a Swift truck come barreling down the ditch & end up in the creek in the middle of the nite about 3 or 4 yrs ago.
