Severe-warned storms swept across southern IL early Monday afternoon bringing heavy rain and wind. Storms that moved across Union County lead to nearly an inch of rain falling in places within 45 minutes and lead to a hydroplaning accident along I-57.

Video package includes scenes of vehicle in median in addition to the car being pulled out by a tow truck driver who just happened upon the scene. The Mississippi man was southbound back to MS and spun 1-and-a-half times when heavy rains caused him to lose control of the truck. He came to rest facing the southbound lanes and was not injured, just shaken up.

While examining his truck, a tow driver pulled on to the scene and latched up his tow truck to the vehicle and pulled him out. Afterwards, the Miss. man was insistent on trying to give the truck driver something for helping him, but the tow truck driver was equally as insistent on not taking payment and was just happy he could help the man.

Examination of the truck showed the exhaust pipe was bent around under the vehicle, but was still drivable. Upon recommendation from the two truck driver, the man took his truck to the Anna exit only a couple miles down to have a nearby body shop cut off the bent pipe so he could continue his trip home to Mississippi.

The 76th annual Peach Festival was held Friday and Saturday at Cobden Community Park in southern Illinois. Activities included a parade through downtown Cobden, a carnival with rides and games, a Queen contest, food peach cobbler, Bingo and Spin-and-Win for peaches.

While warm with a high in the mid 80s, temperatures across the region remain below normal. After closing out an abnormally “cool” July with record lows being set all over the region, temperatures continue to remain below normal as highs this time of year usually run in the low to mid 90s. While still muggy due to rains overnight, it was still very lovely weather to take in the annual Peach Festival in Cobden, Illinois.

Cobden, IL is located approximately 16 miles south of Carbondale, IL or 30 miles northeast of Cape Girardeau, MO.

Video package opens with establishing shots of the Cobden Peach Festival sign, then follows with various shots of the parade through downtown Cobden including scenes with the Cobden High School Marching Band and the reigning Peach Festival Queen, Lindsey Carter. Several other parade shots.

Transitions to the festival itself with shots of people eating and cooking food, some of the carnival rides, shots of a bingo game, and of course, the peaches!
