Local woman hurt in South Campbell St. accident

A two-vehicle accident at South Campbell and East Ninth Street in Hopkinsville Thursday sent one person to the hospital.

It happened about 2:50 p.m. and the collision report from Hopkinsville police says 37-year old Emanuel Brenneman of Russellville had been stopped at the stop sign and then was attempting to make a wide turn with his tractor-trailer onto Ninth Street when a minivan driven by 57-year old Jeannette Gentry of Hopkinsville tried to also turn right by going around the semi’s right side.

Gentry struck the right side of the tractor-trailer and her passenger, 78-year old Wanda Gilkey of Hopkinsville, was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for treatment of injuries.
