MILLBROOK — Four children and one adult were injured in an accident on the 700 block of Myrick Road Saturday night in Millbrook.
The accident involved a tractor pulling a trailer with children and adults aboard and a 2006 Nissan Altima, which were traveling westbound on Myrick Road around 8:43 p.m., according to Millbrook Police Chief P.K. Johnson.
“According to the driver of the Nissan, he did not see the trailer until he was up on it,” Johnson said. “The Nissan struck the trailer, causing it to overturn.”
Johnson said the trailer was carrying children and adults who were out in area neighborhoods trick or treating.
“I think they were wrapping up their trick or treating and were about to drop off one of the children when the accident happened,” Johnson said.
A 40-year-old woman, who was on the trailer, was airlifted to Baptist Medical Center South in Mont gomery with serious to critical injuries, Johnson said.
As of late Sunday afternoon, Johnson said the woman had suffered a broken leg, which may require surgery.
Three of the children on the trailer were transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, while another child was transported to Jackson Hospital in Montgomery.
The children were ranged in age from 7 to 10 years old, according to Johnson.
One of the children suffered a broken ankle, which may need surgery, Johnson said. The other three were treated and released from the hospital Saturday night.
The driver of the Nissan was a 30-year-old man from Deatsville and was not hurt, Johnson said.
“This appears to be nothing more than an unfortunate accident,” Johnson said. “There does not appear to be drugs or alcohol related to the accident.”
Johnson said he didn’t foresee any charges related to the accident forthcoming.
