WHERE Incident Happened: County Highway Q at Jackson Drive
What happened: Sheriff Clay Porter reports on 05/10/2024 at approximately 5:12am, The Richland County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a 2 vehicle crash at the intersection of County Highway Q and Jackson Drive, near the Town of Boaz. The Richland County Sheriff’s Office, as well as Richland EMS and the Richland Center Fire Department responded to the scene. Upon arrival, medical care was provided for the injured parties and an investigation into the crash was conducted. Based on observations of the scene and statements from those involved, it is believed that the driver- Emily Burghagen and passenger- Malaki Herbeck were traveling southbound on Jackson Drive when they failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of County Highway Q. At the same time, Kadin Dilly was traveling westbound on County Highway Q. Burghagen’s failure to stop at the stop sign resulted in her vehicle pulling out to travel Eastbound on County Highway Q in front of Dilly’s vehicle. This caused the front of Dilley’s vehicle to strike Burghagen’s vehicle in the driver’s door area. The crash resulted in what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries to Burghagen and Herbeck. Both parties were transported by Richland EMS to the Richland Hospital. Burghagen admitted to consuming alcohol the night prior/early morning hours of 5/10/24. The alcohol consumption is believed to have been a factor in the crash. The Richland County Sheriff’s Office was assisted on scene by Richland EMS, Richland Center Fire Department and Wegner’s Auto. This incident is still under investigation.
