KENLY – A serious two vehicle crash this afternoon (Tuesday) briefly shut down Highway 222 at Glendale Road. A car reportedly failed to yield for a stop sign at the intersection and drove into the path of a pickup.
The pickup ran off the roadway, went airborne, and struck a utility pole before overturning in a nearby yard. The driver was pinned in the truck and power lines fell across the overturned vehicle.
