Shortly prior to 7 PM Wednesday evening, the Hoxie Fire Department and Medic One Ambulance responded to a automobile accident that involved the Wagon Wheel Motel in Hoxie.
A couple from Ohio had a bit of bad luck when their vehicle crashed into the living quarters of the motel where tragedy was avoided by a motel manager taking a nap in a chair that was within three or four foot from the front of the SUV when it came to rest in his living room. The occupants of the SUV were transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where they were treated and kept for observation over night.
