ACSO: Parkway collision results in injuries By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On February 8, 2024, at 2:26pmCT, Adair County 911 received a call of a vehicle collision westbound on the Louie B. Nunn Parkway near the county line. Upon the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Gary Roy and Deputy Sheriff Emily Wall, it was found that both westbound lanes of the parkway were obstructed as two vehicles had collided and injuries had occurred. Preliminary investigation indicates both unit two, operated by William Shirley of Edmonton, and unit one, operated by Greyson Bernard of Adair County, were traveling west when unit one struck unit two in the rear of the vehicle, causing both vehicles to spin out of control. Speed is believed to be a contributing factor in the collision. William Shirley was transported by Adair County EMS to TJ Health Columbia, and Greyson Bernard was taken by private vehicle for additional medical treatment. The collision is being investigated by Deputy Emily Wall, who was assisted by Deputy Gary Roy and the Columbia-Adair County Fire Department. 2024-02-09 15:06:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports

She married first in late 1977 and divorced in the fall of 1980, about a year after their son was born. By 1986 she had remarried and at some point, her son took his step-dad's surname.Comments re: Memories are being shared about pageant winners 2024-02-09 10:10:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
