Around 10:30 AM, Monday morning, the driver of a Lincoln Town Car attempted to pass an ARDOT truck, working to repair potholes on Highway 83 N., between Garnett Road and Jose Chapel Road, and collided with the work truck’s front left wheel area, according to sources at the scene.

Both vehicles were headed towards Monticello.

One driver was transported to Baptist Drew by POV.

Reggie‘s Wrecker removed the Lincoln.

DCSO and OEM responded.

At approximately 8:30, Thursday morning, there was a single vehicle accident at the intersection of Highway 83 south in Jordan Drive.

MPD, ASP, OEM, and SEEMS responded.

No other details are available.

Wednesday afternoon at 1:40 PM, there was a two car collision on Highway 425 south at the 278 bypass intersection.

Sources at the scene indicated that the driver of a red Chevy Silverado was attempting to turn from the bypass, south, onto Highway 425, when it was struck by a northbound Nissan Sentra.

After veering to the left to miss the pick up, as much as possible, the Sentra crossed into a deep ditch ravine, and was lodged above a running creek and fiber optic line.

SEEMS and MASI responded, each working with the separate vehicles involved.

Reggie’s Wrecker towed the Chevy.  Rangel Towing was called for the Nissan, but required Big Wrecker, to lift the car above the fiber optic line, to prevent doing any damage to the endangered cable.

The Drew County Sheriff and deputies responded, along with OEM and ASP.

Traffic was rerouted for approximately 30 minutes, during the cleanup.
