On August 25th, 2024, at approximately 11:28 AM, Gibson County Central Dispatch received a report of a two-vehicle personal injury accident at the intersection of County Road 400 South and County Road 350 West. Upon arriving at the intersections emergency service personnel discovered one critically injured patient. 

The initial investigation determined that the driver of a Buick Century was heading Northbound on County Road 350 West and failed to yield the right of way to a Chevy Malibu that was Eastbound on County Road 400 South. As a result, the Chevy Malibu struck the Buick Century in a right-angle collision.

EMS had attempted to resuscitate one of the drivers, but they passed away at the scene of the accident. The other driver was taken to a hospital in the Evansville area.
