CIRCLEVILLE -On June 17th, 2019, at 0935 hr. the Circleville Police Department received a 911 call regarding an injury involving a motor vehicle accident in front of 401 N. Court Street.
Investigation revealed that the driver of a Lincoln Blackwood p/u truck parked on the lot of 401 N. Court St. As the driver exited the truck, the vehicle began to roll backwards on to N. Court St. Witnesses described seeing the driver being in between the driver’s door and the frame of the vehicle.
The vehicle continued down the incline, rolling backwards, north bound, on N. Court St. The driver of the vehicle was thrown to the roadway as the vehicle, quickly, spun around to final rest in the front yard(s) of 407/409 N. Court St. The front tires(s) of the vehicle ran over the driver causing serious injuries. The driver died at the scene.
While on scene of the accident one of our reporters noticed several people chose to drive through the cones and into the crime scene, a total of three in a very short amount of time. Please lets pay attention to blockades and police lines they are there for a purpose.
Angry PSA from Brandon : if you encounter a police roadblock on a double yellow line, you must divert. Do not drive past the road block speeding, in the hope that you can somehow get around, while driving into traffic.
I am covering this scene, and a total of 3 people have illegally driven past roadblock. Now a local man, Mr David Crawford (president of city council, who lives close by) is assisting police with diverting.
Side note this is still an active police scene on n court. We will have information soon.
