Five People Hurt in 2 Crashes that Occurred on Icy Roads in Josephine County
A total of five people were injured in two motor vehicle accidents that occurred in Josephine County late yesterday.
On Wednesday at 3:46 p.m., Rural Metro Fire Department and American Medical Response were dispatched to a single-vehicle crash on Southside Road near Murphy.
Rescue crews were able to quickly extract everyone after a vehicle went out of control and struck a tree, likely due to ice. One adult and three juveniles were transported by ambulance to Three Rivers Medical Center for treatment.
On Wednesday at 8:42 p.m., Rural Metro and AMR responded to a single-vehicle rollover wreck in the 900-block of Jumpoff Joe Creek Road near Hugo.
Few details were available, but the driver was transported to the hospital. Ice may have been a factor, but law enforcement was investigating the cause of the crash.
First responders are reminding motorists that some roads remain icy all day if they are shaded from sunlight. Please drive with caution.
