An accident Friday on the Pennyrile Parkway injured two people.
It happened about 12:30 p.m. and the report from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office says Elena Eley of St. Louis was headed north in the right lane and she had her emergency flashers engaged, as she was traveling behind a vehicle on the right shoulder that had a flat tire. The two vehicles were traveling together and they were going to stop in Hopkinsville to get it repaired.
Approaching from behind was Dwight Lewis of Hopkinsville, who rear-ended Eley, with Lewis’ vehicle then overturning before coming to rest back on its tires.
Eley’s passenger, Bessie Jackson of St. Louis, was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for evaluation.
Lewis complained of several injuries and was advised by EMS and police to seek treatment, but he refused an ambulance trip to the hospital.
