Accidents

Wallace was operating his 1998 Jeep Cherokee northbound on Academy Hill Road when he entered the shoulder and continued into the ditch.

Deputy Kevin Dennison was the investigating officer.
Oct. 10, an accident occurred on Egypt Road in Jefferson involving Travis Sapp, 20, of Jefferson. Sapp was operating his 1995 Ford F150 pickup truck southbound when a deer entered the roadway from the north and crossed in front of him. He attempted to avoid the deer and steered hard right onto the soft shoulder. Sapp attempted to steer out of the soft shoulder and over-corrected, which caused his vehicle to cross the centerline, through the westbound lane and enter the westbound ditch, striking a tree on the driver’s side door. He then placed his vehicle into four-wheel drive, pulled out of the tree/ditch and drove another .5 miles before his vehicle could not be operated any longer. Deputy Mark Bridgham was the investigating officer.
