Local woman hurt in two-vehicle accident

A two-vehicle wreck Friday morning at South Virginia and East First Street injured a Hopkinsville woman.

It happened about 9:30 a.m., according to a Hopkinsville Police report from Officer Ron Ingram, which says 66-year old Andrew Watkins of Hopkinsville was eastbound on East First attempting to cross South Virginia when he struck the driver’s side of a northbound vehicle driven by 74-year old Emmie Oatts of Hopkinsville.

Oatts’ SUV left the roadway and came to rest in the parking lot of a nearby business after scraping a concrete sign post. She was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for treatment of injuries.

Watkins, who said he stopped at the stop sign but didn’t see Oatts’ vehicle, was not injured.
