Sheriff's Department

* At 10:42 p.m. Thursday, Deputy Mathew D. Biggs, 25, Russellville, was responding to an emergency call at Heritage Lake when he lost control on a 90-degree turn, totaling the police car he was driving.

Biggs told Sgt. Gregg Slover that as he negotiated the turn on Heritage Drive, the traction control on the 2006 Dodge Charger activated, causing the rear end to slide.

The car left the north side of the road and Biggs was unable to bring it back. The car hit a culvert and rolled onto its side.

Biggs was taken to Putnam County Hospital for minor injuries.

Sheriff Steve Fenwick assisted Sgt. Slover with the investigation.

Damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000.

Deputy Ronnie Campbell reported Alford's 1997 Pontiac Sunfire left the roadway and entered a ditch, where it rolled.

Alford was taken to Hendricks Regional Health.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.
