Medical episode likely led to crash near Stadium of Champions

A medical episode is thought to have caused a single-vehicle accident at the Stadium of Champions Sunday morning that sent the driver to the hospital for evaluation.

A Hopkinsville Police report says 18-year old Skylar Lewis of Hopkinsville had been headed westbound just before 8 a.m. when it’s believed she had a seizure. Her car traveled through the median, crossed the eastbound lanes, went into a ditch and then crashed through a fence at the stadium.

Her car eventually came to rest on the south side of the stadium.

Lewis did not have any visible injuries, but was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center to be checked out. Police say she was wearing her seat belt.
