Serious injuries result from one-vehicle accident

David J. Long, 25, of Franklin, suffered serious injuries following a one-vehicle accident Tuesday.

At about 10:45 a.m., Long was traveling east in a 1994 Honda on Route Z, one mile west of HoCo Road 351. He apparently crossed the centerline, overcorrected, ran off the right side of the road and overturned.

Long, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car which rested on its top in a field. He was taken by the Staff for Life Helicopter to University Hospital.

The vehicle was totaled and towed from the scene.

Public flu clinic to be held Thursday in New Franklin

The Howard County Health Department will host a public flu clinic at the New Franklin Senior Center on Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to noon.  Cost is $20 for non-Medicaid or non-Medicare clients.

Health experts recommend that persons 6 months of age and older get a flu vaccine every year. It will provide protection that lasts through the flu season. The vaccine is updated each year to protect against the three flu viruses that research indicates will cause the most illness.

Also, individuals may check with their doctor’s office for availability.

Flu shots are available at the department, either by appointment or walk-in, on Mondays and Wednesdays.
