Driver Crashes Van in Diamondhead, Leaves the Scene Traveling in Wrong Direction (WATCH VIDEO)
A bizarre incident happened around noon Tuesday at the Diamondhead Front Gate. Lake Hamilton Fire Department and Lifenet were dispatched to a report of an injury accident with possible entrapment at the entrance gate to the Diamondhead Community but were advised before arriving that Diamondhead Police had one person held at gunpoint. A Nissan Quest minivan had apparently crashed into a tree somewhere inside Diamondhead and sustained heavy damage to the passenger side. The van had left the scene and was stopped in front of the guard shack going the wrong way down the entrance in the 100 block of Independance Drive.
According to emergency radio traffic, an approximately 3 year old female was an unrestrained passenger in the minivan and was transported to Mercy Hospital by Lifenet in stable condition. The male driver was being examined by Lifenet and questioned by Garland County Sheriff’s Investigators and Arkansas State Police. He was not transported to the hospital. It was noted that the minivan had a Diamondhead resident sticker. No further details were available at this time.
