County Car
Rolls into
Trouble at Water
Treatment Plant
In an alarming incident, a county worker faced an
unexpected situation when a county car, parked at the
water treatment plant, rolled into trouble. The unsettling
question now looms: What are the chances of a similar
instance occurring again this week? Dear readers, you
will remember the unfortunate incident we reported last
week on Front Street.
The incident unfolded when a county worker parked
the county car at the water treatment plant and, upon
returning from the building, discovered a scene of
significant damage. Miraculously, no one was hurt in the
incident, offering a sigh of relief amid the startling turn
of events.
The county car, unfortunately, bore the brunt of the
mishap. The vehicle, having seen better days, is now in a
state of disrepair. According to the employee, “I put the
car in park and then went inside.”
