Late Saturday night firefighters from Dudley along with paramedics from Station 8 were sent to an accident involving two vehicles at the intersection of Sleepy Creek Road and Ruskin Road just east of Dudley.

As fire and EMS personnel arrived on the scene they found one of the vehicles sitting in the roadway and the other passenger vehicle had veered off the road and struck a utility pole.

All of the occupants that were involved in the accident were checked out by medical personnel with three of them being taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

A field service technician from Tri-County Electric was called to the scene to check out the light pole.

The intersection was closed while the Highway Patrol investigated the crash to determine who was at fault. Fire and law enforcement remained on the scene for about an hour.
