December 22, 2025 - Tenaha Street at the intersection with Child Street in Center was the scene of a two-vehicle crash December 13, 2025.
When emergency personnel arrived, they rushed to the aid of those involved in the incident. One vehicle had come to a halt on an embankment near the Center City Hall sign and the other that was involved had flipped over near a dollar store location.
According to the Center Police Department, a green 2020 Jeep Compass driven by Lyeyda Ramirez, 36, of Center was northbound on Tenaha Street when a white 2016 Ford Fusion driven by Tremoine Jackson, 26, of Center entered the path of the Jeep from Child Street.
Ramirez took evasive action in attempts to avoid colliding with the Ford; however, the Jeep collided with the front quarter panel of the driver’s side which caused the Jeep to roll and come to rest by a utility pole on the southbound side of the roadway. The Fusion came to rest on the northbound side of the roadway near the Center City Hall sign.
Ramirez and a three-year-old minor passenger were transported by ambulance to Shelby Emergency Department for medical evaluation and possible treatment.
