February 9, 2026 - Center Police Department investigated a two-vehicle crash on Riggs Street on February 2, 2026.
When officers arrived at around 4:45pm, they found a delivery truck and a passenger car in the roadway.
According to the Center Police Department, a white 2022 Ford truck driven by Kenneth Trim, 35, of Louisiana was traveling south on Riggs Street when Trim advised he was possibly too much over into the oncoming traffic side on a non-divided street. This caused the Ford to strike the left front driver’s side quarter panel of a white 2025 Honda Accord driven by Lacendra Bates, 38, of Center making them both un-driveable.
Both vehicles were disabled as a result of the collision and were towed from the scene.
Bates was transported to the Shelby Emergency Department for treatment of possible injury.
No citations were reported to have been issued.
The crash was investigated by Center Police Officer Luis Acuna assisted by Sgt. Brian Wright.
