Thursday Evening Accident sends multiple patients to the hospital

October 6, 2022, Thursday evening’s accident in the 24000 block of South Calhoun Highway in the Chloe area sent two victims in the Silver truck to the hospital by ambulance, and a teen girl in the Maroon Subaru Legacy to the hospital by her mother who came to the scene. Ridgeview News spoke with her mother later in the evening who said that her daughter had suffered a dislocated thumb but was fine otherwise.

Although there has not been an official accident report released, statements from those on scene said that the truck had lost control and was swerving across the line when they hit the Subaru. The impact was so hard that there was debris from both vehicles strung down the road and into the field where the Subaru landed.

Trp. J.D. Richards is the investigating officer and will likely release a full report in a few days. West Fork Volunteer Fire Department was on scene as well as Minnie Hamilton Health System had two ambulance for service.
