 According to the accident report filed by the Lincoln Police
Department, Dragoo was northbound on North Logan at the intersection
with Keokuk. He was stopped, waiting for the traffic signal to
change. Witnesses noted that inside the vehicle, Dragoo seemed to be
nodding his head.
According to the witnesses, it appeared that Dragoo accelerated
his vehicle through the intersection. Continuing at increasing
speeds, he left the roadway to his right and drove into the concrete
awning support on the west end of the Millwright building.
The support was knocked out of place, and the truck came to rest
against it. Also damaged in the incident was a vehicle belonging to
Jenny E. Dalluge.
City police and fire departments responded to the incident, along
with Logan County Paramedics. At the time of the incident, Dragoo
was unable to speak to the investigating officer. He was transported
by LCPA to Memorial Medical Center in Springfield. His current
condition is unknown.
Assisted Fire Chief Darren Coffey reported Monday night that the
Lincoln Fire Department was on the scene and provided security of
the scene until a professional contactor could arrive to reinforce
the awning support.
