We are aware of the recent claim on social media regarding a Public Works vehicle allegedly being involved in a rear-end collision with a citizen early in the morning of November 8th. After carefully reviewing the details of the incident, it has been determined that the vehicle involved was not operated by a City of Willard employee or part of the City's fleet.
The City of Willard takes such allegations very seriously. We expect all staff members to report any incidents of this nature immediately, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of accountability and public safety.
The Willard Police Department reviewed the matter and confirmed that nobody was injured in the accident. Additionally, the individual responsible was found to have taken appropriate steps by checking on the other driver and offering to exchange insurance information.
We appreciate the community’s understanding as we work to ensure transparency and uphold trust. If anyone has further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact City Hall directly.
