JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On Tuesday night just before 7pm, the Jamestown Police responded to a report of an injury accident at the intersection of 4 Ave SE and 4 St SE.

The reporting party indicated one of the drivers was trapped inside his vehicle and in immediate need of medical treatment. Due to the information provided by the caller, the Jamestown Fire Department and Jamestown Area Ambulance also responded.

Upon arrival, Officers determined the trapped driver was able to get out of the vehicle, so the Jamestown Fire Department Rescue Squad was not needed. Jamestown Area Ambulance arrived and began to provide medical aid to the individuals at the scene.

During the investigation into the accident, it was determined that 24-year-old Wesley Possen of Jamestown was driving a 1999 Honda Civic westbound on 4 St SE, crossing over the 4 Ave SE intersection. 54-year-old Monica Moore of Jamestown was driving a 2015 Jeep Wrangler southbound on 4 Ave SE, crossing through the 4 St SE intersection. There was a 1998 Honda Accord driven by 17-year-old Elijah Tweeton of Jamestown, which had stopped at the yield sign, while traveling eastbound on 4 St SE, at the 4 Ave SE intersection. The intersection is controlled by yield signs for 4 St SE traffic.

Prior to impact, the southbound Jeep Wrangler driven by Moore attempted to swerve to avoid the accident. However, the Jeep Wrangler did strike the westbound Honda Civic in the front- passenger corner. The Jeep continued and struck the 1998 Honda Accord, which was stopped at the yield sign, before coming to rest.

Mr. Possen was transported by ambulance to Jamestown Regional Medical Center and was later life-flighted to a Fargo Hospital, for serious injuries.

All 3 vehicles were towed from the scene. The investigation is on-going at this time and a report will be forwarded for review by the City Attorney’s Office for possible charges.
