The
Enterprise Police Department is currently investigating a motor vehicle
collision involving injuries that occurred near Wal-Mart.
At
approximately 6:41 PM, Wednesday March 21, officers of the Enterprise
Police Department responded to a multi-vehicle collision near Wal-Mart.
Upon arrival officers
found that there were five vehicles involved in the collision and that
the driver of one of the vehicles was trapped in her vehicle. Several
witnesses to the collision stated that a white Ford F350 pickup was the
primary contributor to the collision. The witnesses
stated that the vehicle had been traveling at a high rate of speed, was
being driven erratically, and had sped through a red light shortly
before the collision, nearly causing a separate collision at that time.
Other witnesses stated that the driver of the
vehicle had fled from the scene, running north.
Officers
obtained a description of the suspect and canvassed the area in a
search for him. With assistance from one of the witnesses, who was able
to keep track
of the suspect's location, the officers were able to locate the suspect
inside McDonalds.
The
injuries sustained to the entrapped driver are not believed to be
life-threatening. The suspect, Robert Ryan Gibbs, has been arrested on
several charges related
to the collision. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the collision.
