Woman crashes car into Boondocks dining room.

A driver accidentally drove into the side of Boondocks BBQ & Creamery in Wedowee on Saturday afternoon. According to the report, there were no serious injuries when Shirley Foster, 75, of Newell crashed into the dining room with her 2016 Kia Soul. Southern Ambulance Transport treated one man at the scene, but he refused transport to the hospital.
According to Boondocks’s Facebook page the restaurant remains open for takeout and drive-through orders, but the dining room is temporarily closed for repairs.

Randolph County Sheriff’s Office and Dickert Volunteer Fire Department responded to a woods fire that was close to a structure on County Road 867. Property owner Christopher Shannon Allen told responders he was riding his scooter and fell while trying to put out a burn pile. The fire spread to the woods. It did not get to a building, but did get dangerously close. Allen was transported by Southern Ambulance Transport to Tanner-East Alabama Medical Center for injuries from the scooter accident.

RCSO and Dickert VFD also responded to a fire on Louina Road. The fire was approximately 50 yards by 20 yards and damaged Malcolm Rowland’s residence, boat and a large portion of woods. Rowland told responders that two days prior he had set fire to a TV box, and it had set a log on fire. He thought he had put that fire out and could not think of another cause for this fire.
