The Mount Pleasant Police Department responded to a two-vehicle collision Thursday afternoon that left one passenger injured.
According to authorities, the crash occurred on November 13 at 4:31 p.m. at the intersection of Washington and Walnut Streets. Dispatchers reported that a passenger in one of the vehicles had been injured and was possibly trapped.
Officers arrived to find Mount Pleasant Fire Department personnel already working to free the passenger from the vehicle. Once extricated, the individual was transported by Henry County Emergency Medical Services to Henry County Health Center for further evaluation and treatment. No additional injuries were reported.
An investigation revealed that a 2007 Suzuki SX4 was traveling east on Washington Street and attempted to turn north onto Walnut Street on a green light. The Suzuki was struck on the passenger side by a westbound 2018 Ram 2500. Police determined that both drivers’ view of oncoming traffic had been blocked by another truck that was attempting to turn south onto Walnut Street.
The Mount Pleasant Police Department was assisted at the scene by the Mount Pleasant Fire Department, Henry County EMS, and Breuer Towing & Recovery.
