May 19, 2019 - Tom Bellmyer, Precinct 4 Commissioner, reports on county roads which have flooding and/or damage
- REOPEN - CR 4323 currently flooded at all three bridge crossings. As a result, he is closing the section of roadway within which the bridges are contained because the areas are almost impassable with a truck.
- CR 4694 is closed due to a cuvert completely washed out by flood waters at the section between CR 4699 and CR 4726. Expect a minimum of a couple of weeks for the repair to be made.
May 19, 2019 - Hurst Street in Center at the intersection of Wheeler Street was the scene of a major traffic incident, sending all involved to the emergency room May 18, 2019.
When law enforcement first arrived on scene, debris from vehicles was strewn across the roadway and witnesses to the event were seeing to the drivers and passengers involved until ambulances could arrive.
One vehicle with a trailer was resting at the traffic pole adjoining the north side of the Hurst and Wheeler Street intersection. An SUV involved in the crash was directly across the roadway on the north side of the Hurst Street and Arcadia Drive intersection.
Just as ambulances began to move in on the location, Center Fire Department Firemen occupied the roadway to divert traffic around the incident.
According to Center Police Officer Chris King, at 11:30am a red 2016 GMC Acadia driven by Marjorie Boswell Davis, 89, of Tenaha was southbound on Hurst Street (U.S. 96) and had stopped at the traffic light to turn left onto Wheeler Street.
Billy Eli Paddie, 70, of Center was at that time northbound on Hurst Street driving a white 1996 Chevrolet C1500 pulling a trailer with a van on the back when Davis turned left on an unprotected turn signal.
As the Acadia failed to yield, the C1500 truck was unable to stop in time and it struck the Acadia sending it spinning around and across the north and southbound traffic lanes coming to rest at the traffic light pole.
The truck continued north and collided head-on with the traffic pole at the Wheeler Street intersection and the weight of the trailer behind it spun the truck around before the trailer disconnected and both came to rest.
Davis and her passenger Robert Glenn Davis, Sr., 89, of Tenaha as well as Paddie and his passenger Jennifer Suzanne Paddie, 44, of Center were all transported by ambulance to Nacogdoches Medical Center - Shelby Emergency Department for treatment of their injuries.
No further information is available at this time.
