The intersection of three roadways was the site of an accident Jan. 1 in Trenton.
According to Trenton Police Lt. Larry Smith’s accident report, the mishap occurred at the intersection where Cedar, 10th and Ninth streets meet. A pickup truck driven by Robert A. Badgett of Cairo was westbound on Ninth Street at that intersection, attempting to make a left turn onto 10th Street. A pickup truck driven by Steve Ishmael was southbound on Cedar Street, coming through the intersection to make the slight left onto Ninth Street. Badgett said he saw Ishmael’s truck and attempted to avoid striking it, but his vehicle slid, striking the Ishmael vehicle. Ishmael’s truck then slid into a fire hydrant on the south side of the intersection.
There was damage to the front end of Badgett’s truck and near the driver’s side door and passenger side rear wheel on Ishmael’s truck. The fire hydrant was not damaged in the mishap, which also did not result in any injuries that resulted in medical treatment at the scene.
Due to weather conditions, no tickets were issued in the accident.
