Two Accidents Minutes Apart On Memorial Blvd in Springfield Friday

Two accidents occurred within minutes of each other shortly before noon on Good Friday in Springfield. One driver (a female) hit a telephone pole then went airborne according to one witness and proceeded to hit a second pole in the area of Hutch Pool & Spa on Memorial Blvd.

The first pole was completely severed and then acted as a ramp sending the SUV airborne. After impacting the first pole the SUV still had enough momentum to nearly take out a second pole.   (Location Of Wreck) The driver was grounded to Northcrest Medical Center with Non-life threatening injuries. This accident will take some time to clean up so if you are passing through there expect delays until about 3PM

The second accident involving an SUV was a minor rear-end incident with no injuries at the intersection of Memorial & Tom Austin.  Last Friday a similar situation of two accidents occurred within minutes of each other on the same stretch of road on Memorial Blvd. See Last  Friday’s REPORT

At 1:06 PM a third accident was reported in front of Wendy’s On Memorial.

It’s raining and folks are in a hurry. Be safe and keep a close eye on other drivers.
