HOUSTON COUNTY:   7:52 AM.   Houston County Sheriff 911 dispatched emergency units to North County Road 49 at the Houston - Dale County line to a motor vehicle accident at the bridge. Initial reports were injuries and vehicle hanging half on and half off the bridge guard rail.

Houston County Sheriff Deputies, Wicksburg Fire - Rescue, Dothan-Houston County Emergency Management and Alabama State Troopers responded.

Alabama State Trooper Post Commander Captain Tracy Nelson was first on the scene. There were no injuries and all responding units were downgraded.

Folk, something you do not see a lot... the post Commander for this part of the State Of Alabama, Captain Tracy Nelson, kept other Troopers on the road and he worked the accident himself. Captain Nelson has hit the roads multiple times working when needed.

The JEEP was northbound on County Road 49 and apparently ran off the road, jerking the wheel at the right time and crawled the bridge. Heard of rock climbing on a Jeep but the first bridge climbing !!!
