Date:

03 December 2009

    The Sheriff's Department is investigating a single vehicle accident that occurred at 1:55 PM in the 8700 block of Old Mayfield Road.  A witness that was traveling East on Old Mayfield Road, stated that he met a West bound 2001 Nissan Sentra that was across the center line.  The driver of the passenger car swerved back into his lane and then over corrected causing him to cross the center line.  The vehicle continued across Old Mayfield Road where it struck a tree. Zachary Houser, 21, of Boaz was lone occupant of the Sentra and treated for critical injuries by Mercy Regional EMS.  He then transported to Lourdes Hospital and was later flown by helicopter to Deconess Hospital in Evansville, In.
