22 ACCIDENTS REPORTE DIN CITY IN ALMOST 13 HOURS ON FRIDAY

Cape Girardeau Police reported that 22 accidents occurred Friday in the city in nearly 13 hours.

The accidents were reported from 10:05 a.m. to 10:50 p.m.

Patrolman Eddy James said he didn't know for sure if Friday's rain directly contributed to any of the wrecks. "I'm sure some of them were because of the weather," he added.

Police reported no injuries. "I believe all the accidents we had were real minor fender benders," James said.

All but one of the accidents involved two vehicles, police reported. In the remaining accident a vehicle driven by Leslie M. Pemberton of Charleston struck a fence owned by McDonald's restaurant at Broadway and Helena.

Police reported that two of the accidents involved vehicles that had left the scene.
