Semi Vs. SUV Wreck Snarls Traffic

June 30, 2011 Around Madison Comments Off
A semi truck and an SUV collided at the intersection of Base Street and North Duval Street on Tuesday, June 28. There is no Florida Highway Patrol report available, but witnesses said that Dennis Odom (driving the semi) was in the left hand westbound lane while Christy Roebuck (driving the SUV) was in the right hand westbound lane. Odom reportedly did not see Roebuck and made a right hand turn, attempting to get onto North Duval Street when he hit Roebuck’s car. Traffic was snarled for 45 minutes while waiting for an FHP trooper to arrive. FHP was called to work the wreck in the city because Christy Roebuck is the wife of Madison Police Sgt. Jimbo Roebuck. No one was injured in the mishap.
