EFFINGHAM — No citations were issued after a five-vehicle collision shut down East Fayette Avenue between Effingham and Teutopolis Monday afternoon.
At 3:53 Monday afternoon on the hill at the intersection of E. Fayette (Route 40) and East Jefferson, a tow truck driven by 26 year old Glen L. Dial, of St. Peter, failed to stop for a line of stopped vehicles which caused a five-car chain reaction.
There was only one minor injury as a result of the crash. A passenger in one of the vehicles, 37 year old Christina L. Watkins, of Toledo, was transported in a private vehicle to S. Anthony’s Hospital in Effingham.
