On Saturday, November 4, at 7:46 pm, a Motor Vehicle Accident with an Injury Call in the 3800 block of North Main Street resulted in Paris Officers taking and investigating an Intoxication Assault with a Vehicle-Serious Bodily Injury Report. Officers found a brown Chevrolet SUV sideways, blocking both northbound lanes with significant front-end damage. A gray Hyundai was in the grassy area of the center median with substantial damage to the front end. EMS was treating passengers on the ground next to the gray Hyundai. Paris Fire Department was using the Jaws of Life to attempt to cut the driver out of the SUV. The officer observed the pungent odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from the SUV; however, due to the driver’s condition, the officer could not speak with him. They located several partially empty beer bottles in the SUV and listed three victims with injuries. A 33-year-old Sumner man is the subject of the investigation. Officers read him his rights, and he consented to a blood draw.
