Woman, children hurt in Lafayette Road crash

A woman and three children were taken to the hospital following a rear-end collision Wednesday afternoon on Lafayette Road near Country Club Lane.

Traffic was congested in the area from an earlier accident on Country Club and 24-year old Keegan Powell of Clarksville told Hopkinsville Police he had been looking out his passenger side window when he rear-ended a stopped SUV driven by 28-year old Courtney Hale of Hopkinsville on Lafayette near Dell Drive.

Hale was stopped waiting for traffic to clear so she could make a turn, according to the report.

Hale and her three children were taken by private vehicle to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Powell was not injured in the crash.

One person complained of back pain in the Country Club Lane accident, but did not go to the hospital.
