The Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single vehicle collision on Sunday early morning. Responding units arrived to the site near mile marker 231 on Highway 34 outside of Mt. Pleasant around 3:30am. They found a Ford SUV with significant damage blocking the outside land of west bound Highway 34.
It was determined that the vehicle was driven by 18-year-old Brady McWhirter of Libertyville. The ford was being driven westbound when it left the roadway, entered the median, and struck a guardrail, which directed it to the outside lane.
No injuries were reported, and the vehicle was deemed a total loss due to the damage. Mr. McWhirter was cited for failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle and for failure to prove security against liability. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Mount Pleasant Police Department.
