Two automobile crashes occurred in the same night because a stop sign was missing from Cane Creek Road South where it comes out on Highway 334 or what is commonly known as Toccopola Road. In both cases the autos went into the field beyond causing extensive damage to the vehicles.

“They were lucky no one was coming down Highway 334 when this happened,” said second district supervisor Mike McGregor. “Or it could have been a different outcome, even the loss of life. I figure it did some $2,000 damage to the ladies vehicle that I came out and saw. She was the first wreck that occurred between six and seven last Tuesday [Feb. 4]. The other wreck occurred in the wee hours of Wednesday morning [Feb. 5].”
