Two drivers exited their vehicles with only minor injuries following a head-on collision at approximately 4:11 PM this afternoon, Thursday, August 18, on East Tulip Road, Solsberry.

Deputy Harvey Holt of the Greene County Sheriff's Department reported one of the vehicles was completely engulfed in fire when emergency responders arrived on the scene.

John Skirvin, 45, Solsberry, was the driver of 2007 Chevy Silverado eastbound on east Tulip Road.

Ashlee Whitfield, 18, Solsberry, who was the driver of a 2006 Chevy Traverse westbound on east Tulip Road.

Deputy Holt said Skirvin crossed the center line of the roadway and drove east in the westbound lane. Whitfield saw the approaching vehicle and she tried to warn him by honking her horn.
