On Thursday, February 26, 2009, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office was requested by Murphysboro Police Department to assist with handling a traffic crash involving one of their officers.
A preliminary investigation revealed a Murphysboro Officer was driving his police cruiser westbound in the 1900 block of Gartside when for an unknown reason the police cruiser left the south side of the street. The police cruiser struck a residence located at 1925 Gartside. The residence was unoccupied at the time of the crash.
