Rescue Copter Picks Up Driver from HWY 83 Crash
July 23rd, 2013 by Joe Burgess
The driver of this Pontiac Grand Prix was traveling south on HWY 83 (N. Gabbert St.) around 2 pm, when she lost control of her vehicle.
The car crossed a ditchbank, before striking a tree, and coming to a stop.
The Monticello Fire & Rescue team extricated the driver from the vehicle, as Arkansas State Troopers worked the crash site, assisted by Monticello Police and Drew County Sheriff’s deputies.
SEEMS and MASI worked the scene together, transporting the victim to the Rose Hill Cut-off intersection, where Air-Evac Lifeteam’s medical heliopter airlifted the driver to UAMS in Little Rock.

I pray that whoever was in this car is okay!
Sending prayers for this driver….just went throgh the same thing 3 weeks ago…
I would like to thank the Monticello Fire Rescue for the great job they did. They do not get the credit they deserve for the jobs they do. We could not do our jobs at these types of wrecks without their help. Also thanks to Airevac, since they started covering this area of Arkansas, I believe lives have been saved that otherwise might not have been. And thanks to Monticello police and Drew Co Sheriffs office, they will do what ever we ask of them to help.
I agree with you Mr. Welch, airevac is a blessing. I am one of the many tht are grateful for them. As well as Seems, Dermott EMS, and the fire dept(s); not sure if it was just one or more, as well as all the other people/first responders that assisted with my accident 3 weeks ago (on Hwy 35E). Am forever grateful.!! Thank you!
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE PRAYERS AND CONCERNS!!GOD IS GOOD SHE AND THE BABY ARE DOING WELL!!
GOD IS GOOD…glad they are both well. Continued prayers.
OMG!!! GOD is definantely good!! Looking at this vehicle, you’d think no one made it out! Thank you Lord for being so good! And Bless these individuals that lives were spared.
