Driver fatigue was a factor in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday morning on the Eagle Way Bypass near Keeton Drive.
Hopkinsville police investigated and determined 26-year old Edward Wilks of Hopkinsville was eastbound on Keeton crossing the Bypass and he entered the path of a northbound SUV operated by 44-year old Monica Roberts of Cadiz and their vehicles collided.
Wilks told police he didn’t remember much about the collision and believed he may have fallen asleep at the wheel. He was not wearing a seat belt and was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for treatment of multiple injuries, according to the report.
Roberts was buckled in and did not report any injuries.
