On January 31, 2024, at 5:35 p.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a 911 report of a five vehicle accident on State Road 64 near East Mount Carmel.  Upon arriving on scene it was determined that this incident was in fact two separate accidents where the first vehicle struck a deer that had entered the roadway.  As a result of this accident vehicles began to slow down in traffic.  The fifth vehicle rear ended the last vehicle causing a chain reaction up to the original scene.  Multiple Law Enforcement Officers were dispatched to the scene along with Owensville Montgomery Township Fire and the Gibson County Ambulance Service.  Two drivers from these accidents were taken to area hospitals for minor injuries.  Although this is an ongoing investigation at this time alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident and charges will be filed at a later date.
