Drive Safely, This Holiday Weekend

Friday, July 2nd, 2021

Shortly after 6 AM, Thursday, the driver of this eastbound Chevy trailblazer lost control of their vehicle on Highway 35 West, between Rock Springs and Oak Grove Freewill Baptist Church.

A Drew County Deputy worked the accident, and no injuries were reported.

Just a reminder to drive safely, with the extra traffic this weekend. You don’t have to be doing anything wrong or reckless, to be involved in an accident.
