Three injured in Madisonville accident

Three people were injured in a two-vehicle wreck Monday night in Madisonville.

It happened about 7:45 p.m., with Madisonville police saying 20-year old Heather Offutt of Madisonville was northbound on North Main Street near Hospital Street in a construction zone when a vehicle in front of her had to slam their brakes at a rough place in the highway.

She was able to stop, but a vehicle behind her driven by 65-year old Jimmy Offutt of Madisonville was unable to stop before a rear-end collision occurred.

Heather Offutt and two passengers—64-year old Barbra Offutt and 37-year old Amanda Offutt of Madisonville—were all treated at Baptist Health Hospital for injuries.
