Early afternoon traffic was held up for a while Monday afternoon
due to a two vehicle accident which took
place in front of the State Employees Credit Union on Jefferson
Avenue in West Jefferson.
The accident occurred when one of the drivers turned into oncoming
traffic in an attempt to enter the bank's parking lot.
No serious injuries were reported following the accident, but
both drivers experienced bumps, bruises and frazzled nerves.
Both vehicles were totaled.
West Jefferson Police would like to remind drivers that during
the holiday season increased traffic brings on the need to be
extra vigilant.
