Around 4 pm on the 25th of November, I drove to the 1500 block of Elmont Road to photograph a two car accident that occurred at the culvert bridge just north of Shady Lane and south of Dorson Circle. After parking on the side of Elmont Road, I walked up to find a red PT Cruiser heavily damaged in the middle of the road at an angle, both bumpers tore off of it, serious damage to the drivers side and rear of the vehicle and one tire and wheel tore off of it. There was a black four door coupe about a hundred feet north of the red car and nosed off the roadway into the ditch. Car parts were strewn all over the roadway and all around the PT Cruiser…..standing there in the midst of it all was a good friend and Franklin County Deputy, Doug Garner….
…he and another deputy were in the area and responded to assist Sullivan PD. One occupant of the PT Cruiser was transported and both occupants of the black coupe were transported to MOBAP Sullivan as well. Chief Eric told me the black coupe was northbound on Elmont Road, approaching the culvert bridge, when the driver of the southbound red PT Cruiser, also approaching the culvert bridge, dropped the right tires off the roadway, brought the Cruiser back on to the roadway, which then caused the Cruiser to spin, bringing the Cruiser out into the path of the northbound black coupe, where both vehicles collided nearly head on…luckily no one was seriously injured in the collision. Both vehicles were towed from the scene with heavy damage….
