Mayfield woman flown to Nashville hospital following accident

A woman was flown to a Nashville hospital following a single-vehicle accident Sunday afternoon in Graves County.

Kentucky State Police say 50-year old Joyce Buckingham of Mayfield was southbound on KY 97 when she ran off the roadway and struck a tree—possibly due to fatigue.

Buckingham had to be extricated and was eventually flown to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville.
