HOUSTON COUNTY:      6:58 PM.     Houston County 911 dispatched Rehobeth Fire – Rescue, Southern Junction Volunteer Fire, Houston County Sheriff Deputies and ALEA – Troopers to a single motor vehicle accident. The location was Highway 109 at Providence Road.

Rehobeth EMS unit was on a medical call at the time dispatched. Yet they had two additional ambulances which responded.

On arrival all occupants had self extricated and the injuries were minor. One patient was being transported by a private auto and not EMS.

The SUV appeared to be traveling south on Alabama Highway 109 and for some reason ran off the right side of the roadway and overturned.

If phone service in this area goes out there is a green box damaged that appears to be a communications device of wires.

ALEA Troopers are  in charge of the accident investigation. At 7:22 PM Rehobeth EMS has returned to service.
