Both occupants of a car that overturned on its side and had power lines drop on top of it escaped safely and refused medical treatment. The Marion County Sheriff's Department reports the accident occurred Friday morning on the Airport Road just south of the Copple Road intersection southeast of Centralia. Accident reports indicate an SUV driven by 31-year-old Kristina Feig of Walnut Hill Road in Centralia was northbound when she drove onto the shoulder of the Airport Road.
The shoulder gave way, sending Feig's car into the roadside ditch. The car then ran up a guidewire to an Ameren Illinois electric pole before it rolled off the guidewire onto its side. The powerline then dropped onto the car. Deputies say fortunately it was not energized. Feig and her ten-year-old son, Cameron Feig, who was a passenger were able to get out of the vehicle before emergency help arrived.
The two turned down hospital treatment. Ameren crews were called to repair the damage to their system and restore power to those who lost electricity due to the wreck that occurred around 6:30 Friday morning. - http://goo.gl/YXi9a
