Gibson County Sheriff's Office investigates traffic fatality.

On August 25, 2024, at 11:28 a.m. Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a two vehicle personal injury accident at the intersection of County Road 400 South and County Road 350 West.  Upon arriving at the intersections emergency service personnel discovered one critically injured patient.  Special Deputy Chuck Frederick began an initial investigation into the incident where he determined that a Buick Century was Northbound on County Road 350 West and failed to yield the right of way to a Chevy Malibu that was Eastbound on County Road 400 South.  As a result the Chevy Malibu struck the Buick Century in a right angle collision.

 

The Gibson County Ambulance Service and Owensville Montgomery Township Fire attempted to resuscitate one of the drivers, but ultimately the driver passed away at the scene.  The other driver was taken to an Evansville area hospital. 

 

Assisting the Gibson County Sheriff’s Office in their investigation was the Fort Branch Police Department.
