Tanyard Creek MVA 03/29/2010


In the early, sunny afternoon of March 29th, 2010 a call was received by the Police and Fire Emergency Dispatch with a report of a vehicle that had driven off of the road while traveling on East Chelsea Rd. and had fallen a significant distance , resting finally in the creek below. The report continued, stating that the vehicle's occupant was found laying in the creek beside the resting vehicle. Significant vehicle damage was also reported, and is visible in the photos below.

Upon arrival by emergency personnel, the driver (sole occupant) of the vehicle was in fact found outside of the vehicle with significant injuries being reported. The driver was transported immediately via ambulance to NWMCBC. 

It would stand to reason that the vehicle had tumbled end-over-end after exiting the highway above, and had come to rest as seen below.
