Local man seriously injured in Lafayette Road accident

A local man was severely injured in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday morning in front of Holiday Burger on Lafayette Road.

A collision report from Hopkinsville police says 87-year old Raymond Whitney of Hopkinsville was making a left turn from Holiday Burger onto Lafayette Road and drove into the path of a southbound car driven by 52-year old Jeanie Jones of Clarksville, who was unable to avoid a collision.

Whitney was taken by EMS to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville with severe injuries and Jones went by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say Whitney was not wearing a seat belt, while Jones was buckled in.
