Emergency crews in Centre responded to two separate single vehicle accidents in the downtown area on Friday afternoon occurring within just minutes of each other.

Icy conditions were factors in both mishaps with the first occurring on West Main Street in Centre in front of Cherokee Glass as the driver attempted to top the hill, hit a patch of ice and spun out of control striking a tree – she was treated at the scene for what appeared to be minor injuries.

As crews were still working the first accident, a second accident took place on East Main Street near Centre Elementary School as the driver attempted to come off the hill, lost control and spun off the road and into a tree, that driver was also treated at the scene.

Centre Police and Firefighters and Cherokee EMS responded to both accidents, we’ll have more as accident reports are available from Centre Police.
