Semi, van accident sends 1 to hospital

Published 10:31am Wednesday, August 8, 2012

An Ironton man is hospitalized in serious condition at Cabell Huntington Hospital following a two-car accident on South Third Street, Tuesday.

Garland Sharp, 22, of 714 S. 10th St., was taken to the hospital after the 2001 Ford Aerostar van he was driving hit a 2001 Peterbilt semi truck, according to Ironton Police Chief Jim Carey.

Sharp’s car was northbound on South Third as the Peterbilt driven by Brian Carr, 41, of Rutland, was southbound.

“Sharp went left of center into the path of the truck,” Carey said.

Sharp was cited for failure to control. His injuries were listed as “incapacitating,” the police chief said.

    I do not mind answering the questions. Thanks Tribune for the On-line edition. Living in Florida, this is my primary means of keeping up to date with what is going on in Ironton, my hometown. Thanks again for your efforts.

    Your “Answer a question to continue reading this page” is the WORST idea you’ve come up with yet.

    It’s just more unwarranted nosiness on the part of the electronic media – especially Google!

    I guess I’ll have to go back to reading the Herald Dispatch.
