The Pike County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate the cause of a three-vehicle collision near Pleasant Hill on Tuesday.
According to a press release from Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood, at approximately 1:45PM Tuesday, Pike County 9-1-1 dispatch received a report of a three-vehicle crash in the 100 block of Quincy Street in Pleasant Hill.
Subsequent to an investigation, it was determined a 2012 Ford UTV driven by 77-year old Jesse L. Beasley of Pearl was traveling eastbound on East Quincy Street. For unknown reasons, the vehicle left the lane of travel and struck an unoccupied 2019 GMC Yukon SUV, which then caused the Yukon to roll forward and strike an unoccupied Kia SUV.
Beasley and a passenger were transported from the scene by the Pike County Ambulance Service to Illini Community Hospital in Pittsfield for unspecified injuries.
