At approximately 9:00 a.m. troopers responded to a single vehicle crash at the Panhandle county intersection. There was a black Toyota truck traveling South East until eventually crashing head-on into a power pole. The driver was Dominique Newman from Panhandle, and he was treated by EMS at the scene of the crash. He was then immediately transported to the MBS hospital for further treatment. Alcohol use is suspected by the police, but the investigation is ongoing.

An eye witness report indicates that Dominique disappeared during his work preparations before nine. The driver is said to have never shown signs of alcoholism in the past. The driver sustained minor cuts, bruises, and a knee injury.
