Bystanders and the Franklin County Sheriff's Department view the scene on Old Lawrenceburg Road where a vehicle slid off the road and into a creek Thursday afternoon. The driver of the vehicle wasn't injured.

When a head-on collision stopped traffic Thursday, a motorist on his daily commute swerved into a ravine to avoid a second crash. Dale Brooks, 48, of Lawrenceburg, was driving home from work in Frankfort when he rounded a curve and saw traffic was stopped. He ended up going off the road and dropping about 25 feet down into a creek - and walking away from it.
