Ind. Courts - "Randolph County Courthouse clock involved in crash"
After dozens of stories about the Randolph County Courthouse and whether it should be torn down, abandoned, or restored, the news calmed down (or the ILB lost track) in early 2009.
Today however, another story, and not a good one. WQLK is reporting:
(Englewood, OH)--The new clock for the courthouse in Randolph County ended up in a western Ohio creek Monday night.It happened on I-70 near Englewood. The flatbed truck was hauling the large clock from Kentucky to Winchester when the driver went into a coughing spell. He was coughing so hard that he, his truck, and the clock went off the highway and into a creek.
It took crews several hours to pull everything out of the creek, partly due to environmental concerns that included diesel fuel leaking into the water. The driver was treated at the scene.
The clock was supposed to have been installed on the new Randolph County courthouse tower by the end of the week. There’s no word yet on what last night’s accident will do to that timetable.
