Franklin County Sheriff's Office recently issued the following announcement on Feb 25.
Roadway is open in both directions.
Both north and south bound of Hwy 17 are currently blocked just north of Merion Rd. Location is approximately four miles north of Mesa.
An all black Angus bull was in the middle of the roadway when a passenger vehicle and a semi-truck hauling potatoes struck the animal. There were minor injuries to the people in the vehicle. The bull did not make it.
Roadway will be closed for the next hour. I will give an update when roadway opens.
