The Trenton Police Department responded to two recent accidents, including one on Feb. 4 that resulted from slick roadways.
According to Lt. Larry Smith’s accident report, the mishap occurred at the intersection of Ninth Street and Harris Avenue when a car driven by Devin McCray of Gallatin was southbound on Harris Avenue, approaching the intersection with Ninth Street. As she attempted to apply her brakes at the intersection, her vehicle slid on the roadway and her vehicle struck a tractor-trailer rig driven by Anthony C. Terry of Tolar, TX, which was westbound on Ninth Street.
Ms. McCray’s vehicle sustained extensive damage and had to be towed from the scene, while the semi sustained only minor damage to the impact guard on the passenger side of the towed unit.
A passenger in Ms. McCray’s vehicle sustained a bloody nose and was evaluated by an off-duty Grundy County paramedic. It was noted that Grundy County EMS was not available to respond to the mishap due to a serious motor vehicle accident that had occurred outside the city limits at the same time.
No tickets were issued in the accident.
A driver was ticketed in an accident investigated by Officer Luke Dapra on Feb. 5 at the intersection of Ninth and Main streets. According to his report, the mishap occurred when a semi driven by Jeffrey P. Horsch was northbound on Main Street and turned east to travel onto Ninth Street. He turned the vehicle too sharply and struck a street light support with the passenger side rear outside tire of the towed unit. The light pole was broken from its foundation and the fixture was broken when it fell. The only damage to the vehicle was to the wheel.
Horsch was ticketed for making an improper turn.
