Route 17 Accident August 26th, 2015 - Photos










Due to computer issues we have had a major delay on getting these pictures up on this site of an accident that happened on route 17 South on August 26th, 2015 at about 2:00 PM.  We had all the photos up that same day, but our system started locking up due to an Adobe update virus.

  The accident started at the end of the Tidewater motel or beginning of the property known as the Salvation army.  The above Toyota Camery was traveling south on 17 at about the speed limit when a another vehicle traveling north on 17 decided to make a U turn and from what we understand, stopped in the middle of the highway.  The other vehicle is described as a white SUV.  That SUV was in the way of oncoming traffic which from what we understand caused the Camery to swerve off to the right shoulder to avoid hitting the white SUV.

  The driver hit multiple signs and the ditch caused the car to flip from what we can tell multiple times eventually landing on its side.  The driver of the SUV drove away leaving the scene of the accident but not before a witness took pictures of the SUV and from what we understand got the vehicle's plate.

  The drive of the Camery did not appear hurt despite how bad the accident looks.  We spoke with him and he seemed fine at that time.  But with any accident, sometimes injuries do not show up until later.  We have no updates on his condition since that time.

Accident On 17 North, Hayes May 15th, 2015: Man Hit While Riding Bicycle




An accident on route 17 North Bound occurred on Friday afternoon, May 15th, 2015.  A man was riding his bicycle along the shoulder of the highway.  From what we have been able to learn he was trying to avoid debris along the shoulder when he accidently pulled out in front of traffic getting hit.  Luckily as we understand it, the man hit on the bicycle did not sustain any life threatening injuries.  The accident happened just across the street from the Tidewater Motel.

  Sheriff's deputies responded along with local paramedics and one State Police officer.  The man's bike was going to be left standing against a telephone pole along the highway but good neighbors have moved it across the street and put it into storage inside a commercial building located at 3682 B George Washington Memorial hwy.  Next door to the Tidewater Motel.  The bicycle is still in very good shape except the seat was destroyed by the accident.  The owner of the bicycle can pick up the bicycle anytime by visiting the location listed above.

  The driver of the vehicle that hit the bicycle is not identified as it was one of those very unfortunate accidents that from what we have learned, was not the drivers fault.  The vehicle did sustain some damage to the front end.

  
It proved to be a bad day for two people.
