Man killed in one-vehicle accident Melodie Phelps News Editor A Somerset man died Saturday afternoon, following a one-vehicle accident in rural Wayne County. Hobart L. Roberts, 81, of Patterson Branch Road in Somerset, died at the Wayne County Emergency Room, according to Deputy Wayne Conn who investigated the accident. His wife, Elva Roberts, 82, was airlifted from the scene by Air Evac. She was listed in stable condition Monday. Roberts was traveling north on Lower Turkey Creek Road when he apparently lost control of his 1999 Toyota Tacoma. The vehicle left the roadway and went over an embankment, according to Conn. Conn said the truck traveled approximately 179 feet into the woods before coming to rest. A Life Net helicopter was also dispatched to the scene to transport Hobart Roberts, but because of his cardiac condition he was taken to the local hospital by Wayne County EMS. The accident was reported at 12:05 p.m. Saturday. Also assisting at the scene was the Monticello Fire Department. Add a comment |
