INDUSTRY – An early morning crash on the Industry Road sent a New Vineyard woman to the hospital Thursday, after two vehicles collided head-on.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred on the Industry Road around 5 a.m. this morning. A Jeep Commander was eastbound on the Industry Road when it reportedly crossed the center line and struck a Nissan Altima head on.
At 5:05 a.m., FCSO Deputy Brad Scovil and Deputy Keith Madore responded to the scene, along with the Industry Fire Department and Farmington Fire Rescue. NorthStar EMS transported the operator of the Altima, Brittany Walsh, 29 of New Vineyard, to Franklin Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. The operator of the Jeep, Clarence Brown, 23 of Anson, was not transported.
Investigators say that speed was the leading cause of the crash.
People…..SLOW THE HELL DOWN !
Did anyone check the phones, I was right behind it
Hey lion,how fast were they going
fast enough for investigators to say that speed was the leading cause of the accident.
Someone can speed and still stay on their side of the road if not distracted…..
Anyone who lives on Rte 43 knows their are speeders and a lot of them. Some residents call this road “I95”. Any police who would sit at the town hall, Shorey Chapel or the corner will find themselves quite busy. The speed limit is 25, Motorcycles, cars and trucks travel much faster. Sorry about the accident and anyone who was injured. Slow down people.
