Five injured in wreck involving Todd Co. Jail van

Five people were injured in a wreck Monday afternoon involving a Todd County Jail van.

It happened about 1 p.m. and Todd County Sheriff’s Sgt. Patrick Turner says Jeffrey Heaton of Sharon Grove was southbound on Miller Valley Road in a Trembley Pool and Spa van when he ran a stop sign at the old US 68 and drove into the path of a westbound jail van.

Heaton, Deputy Jailer John Harris of Elkton and three of the four inmates riding in the jail van went to local hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries.

The Todd County Rescue Squad assisted at the scene.
