Adair County Sheriff’s Office Investigates Single-Vehicle Collision

On October 30, 2026, deputies with the Adair County Sheriff’s Office responded to a single-vehicle injury collision at 5149 Liberty Road.

Upon arrival, deputies located a white GMC truck that had left the roadway, traveled through a field, struck a barbed-wire fence, and overturned multiple times before coming to rest on its driver’s side.

The driver was identified as Jordan Durham, with Jimmy Pyles identified as the passenger. Both occupants were transported to the hospital for treatment.

During the investigation, deputies were advised by witnesses that the occupants had exited the vehicle following the collision and removed a case of beer from the truck before throwing it over a nearby fence. Deputies subsequently located and recovered the beer as evidence.

The investigation revealed indicators of possible impairment.

The investigation is being led by Deputy Emily Wall, who was assisted at the scene by Sheriff Gary Roy and Deputy Hunter Tweedy. Adair County EMS and Adair County Fire also responded and assisted.

The incident remains under investigation.
