While on the initial crash, a second crash also occurred at approximately 2043 hours, also on SR 28, just south of Sr. Tpr. Bailey's location.  Upon arrival, a 2003 Jeep Liberty had slid on ice off the roadway and struck a utility pole causing the pole to crash on top of the vehicle.  The Ridgeley Ambulance along with the Short Gap VFD responded to the scene.  Twenty-six year old Tyrell Helmick was uninjured in the crash and required no transport.  The utility pole remained down until the early morning hours for removal and replacement of the pole.
