AUTHORITIES LOOKING FOR DRIVER

By Jon Mayhew

NORTH LINCOLN -- Authorities had a mystery on their hands in the wee hours of Tuesday morning involving an overturned vehicle with no driver.

North 321 firefighters -- along with Lincoln EMS and law enforcement -- were called to the intersection of Buffalo Shoals and Spring East Roads just after midnight.

A caller told Lincoln County Communications Center dispatchers there wasn't anyone in the vehicle, a fact confirmed by radio traffic when firefighters arrived on the scene.

Whoever was the driver of the car had overturned the vehicle at the intersection.

Law enforcement obtained information on the registered owner of the vehicle and was investigating the case. Witnesses told authorities they saw someone running from the area a short time after the accident.
