At approximately 7 PM, Monday night, the Monticello Fire Department and Drew County Deputies received a page to a reported overturned vehicle with entrapment on Old Dermott Road.
Upon arrival, the wrecked Nissan Altima was there, but witnesses report the driver, along with apparently severe injuries, fled the scene on foot.

During an interview, yesterday, it was accidentally stated that Monday, February 13 is Presidents’ Day.

Actually, presidents day is Monday, February 20, and is a national holiday.

The SEARK Baptist Network disaster relief foodservice trailer is set up at First Baptist Church, to assist electric outage victims, servicemen and women working the area,  along with those using the warming shelter at FBC, for lunch at 11:30am and supper at 5:00pm, today.

There will be no meal Saturday, due to the number of outage victims who now have electricity.

The food and service are provided by local Baptist churches, working together, to serve Drew County.

We want to keep you informed. The best way to get information about outages is via Entergy’s View Outage page on our website.

The final line of severe winter weather and freezing rain produced ice of up to half an inch within areas in the southern region of the state, resulting in approximately 53,000 customer outages at peak today. Currently 42,000 customers are without power.

The state has been hit by multiple waves of winter storm activity since last week. Entergy Arkansas has safely restored approximately 53,000 customer outages since Monday. (more…)
