3 dead, at least 8 injured in crash south of George

The Grant County Sherrif’s Office reported three people were killed and eight others injured in a two-vehicle collision about 4:30 a.m.Thursday morning, May 24.

An SUV with driver only collided with a full size van at the intersection of south Adams Road and Frenchman Hills Road Southwest, about five miles south of George. The van then left the roadway and rolled several times, ejecting many of its occupants.

Three people in the van died at the scene. The remainder of its occupants and the driver of the SUV were all injured and transported to three area hospitals, either via ambulance or LifeFlight. All of the persons involved appear to be adults.

Adams Road at Frenchman Hills Road was closed most of the day for the investigation.
