From the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department
There were only two property damage accidents investigated by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department in the past week.
It may be a new record low.
However, the ubiquitous deer in the county accounted for one of the two accidents.
January 14
Cody John, Batesville, was traveling east on Indiana 46, at 5:50 p.m., and Steven Adams, Batesville, was westbound. John went left of center, striking Adams’ vehicle in the rear driver’s side of the car. John’s vehicle continued to drive off the road and into a yard causing damage to the grass. Adams’ vehicle struck a mailbox and came to rest beside the road following the initial contact. Franklin County Sheriff’s Department Dylan Enzinger investigated the accident.
January 15
James Banks, Richmond was driving north on Indiana 101 at 11:50 p.m., when he struck a deer, which was standing on the road. Enzinger also investigated this accident.
