safety-fence-destroyed-on-shelbyville-bridge-in-overnight-crash
A black fence was recently installed by the City of Shelbyville at the bridge on North State Road 9 at Boggstown Road that helped keep pedestrians from stepping into traffic. But an overnight car crash destroyed much of the new fence just days after its installation.
Shelbyville Police report the crash happened just before 2 a.m. Celsey Richmond, 18, of rural Shelbyville, was driving a Ford Explorer. The police report states Richmond told officers she was on her phone and lost control of the vehicle.
The vehicle went over the fence and slid against the raiser barrier. It then exited the sidewalk and came to a stop in the roadway.
Shelbyville Police say there was no signs of intoxication.
The vehicle was towed from the scene after being disabled by the damage.
