Nine accidents reported

Snow began to fall just before dark Sunday evening, and slippery road conditions contributed to nine different accidents in an area along KY 92 East.

According to Sheriff James Lynn Hill, there were no injuries reported in any of the accidents, which mainly involved cars sliding off the road into the ditch, as a reaction to the initial accident. He said the incident apparently occurred in a curve at about 7:30 p.m., and other drivers had difficulty seeing the accident before they reached the curve.

Deputy Tommy Spencer and Deputy Derek Lester responded to the scene and investigated the incident. The road was closed for about an hour and a half while officers worked to clear away the cars.

The City of Monticello, through the Monticello Utility Commission, will hold a public meeting on February 19 at 1 p.m. at Monticello City Hall. Sign-ups will be held for new water users for the city’s next water system extension project.

The sign-ups are being done in phases and this second phase consists of the following areas: Gregory, Delta, Highway 790, Denney, Ritner and Highway 776.

Those residents who reside in these areas and are interested in obtaining city water are encouraged to attend. A meter deposit and tap fee will be required but not until a later date, just before construction begins.

This project is part of a larger project that also includes the Brammer Hill area. A public meeting for this area will take place soon after this meeting and a notice will be published in The Outlook.
