(KLZA)-- Alcohol is suspected to have been a factor in an early evening wreck, October 12 on Highway 159 a mile-and-a-half east of Falls City.
The Richardson County Sheriff’s Department accident report indicates two people were transported to Community Medical Center in Falls City with disabling injuries.
According to the report, 27-year-old Samuel Philips of Dawson was westbound on Highway 159 at a high rate of speed and struck the rear end of a westbound car driven by 41-year-old Jennifer Mumm of Falls City. The impact caused the Mumm car to turn sideways, cross the highway to the south ditch and roll onto its top. Phillips vehicle continued west and stopped on the north side of the highway.
Neither driver was wearing a safety restraint. The Falls City Volunteer Ambulance Squad transported both Mumm and Phillips to the hospital. Phillips was later transferred to a Lincoln Hospital. Both have since been released from the hospital.
The Sheriff’s Department report filed by Deputy Jon Kirkendall indicates that a citation is pending against Samuel Phillips.
