Jefferson PD Called To Two Minor Accidents Tuesday

No injuries and minimal damages were reported in two separate incidents Tuesday in Jefferson. The Jefferson Police Department responded to the first accident at 8:10 a.m. in the 1900 block of North Grimmell Road. Ann Hicks of Scranton was southbound on North Grimmell in a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and had stopped for traffic to negotiate a left-hand turn. Jesse Miller of Scranton was also southbound, behind the Hicks vehicle in a 2012 Ford Edge, but failed to stop and rear-ended the Jeep. There was an estimated $2,500 in damage to the Hicks vehicle and only minor damage to the Edge. The second accident, at North Elm and Clark Streets, was reported at 12:05 p.m. When the officer arrived, he learned the driver of a flag vehicle for a wide load semi had been traveling north and attempted to change lanes. He struck another northbound vehicle owned by Home State Bank and being driven by Marcus Michaelson. The flag-vehicle operator provided insurance information to Michaelson and then left to catch up with the semi. There was an estimated $1,500 in damage to the Home State vehicle. The officer is working to gather more information from the other driver.
