Accident On Hwy. 49 Lands The Vehicle In Inconvenient Parking Location
Written by
An accident occurred on
Hwy. 49 yesterday around noon, when the driver of this Buick apparently allowed
her vehicle to begin drifting on the roadway. Realizing that the vehicle was
drifting the driver overcorrected causing her to loose control causing the
vehicle subsequently running off the embankment of Hwy 49, landing in the
parking lot of the new Coldwell Banker. That was unfortunate, for the two
parked vehicles on which the Buick landed on top of. The Jackson Police
Department closed one lane of traffic for about 20 minutes to allow emergency
vehicles access to the accident scene. The road was closed again later for
another 10 minutes as the tow truck had to situate on the Hwy. to retrieve the
vehicle. According to Jackson Police Captain Christy Stidger the driver of the
vehicle, was uninjured except for a scratch on her knee and opted to seek her
own medical care.
