Two hurt in head-on crash on East Ninth Street

Two people were injured in a head-on collision on East Ninth Street in Hopkinsville Wednesday afternoon.

It happened right before 1 p.m. in the 1400 block of East Ninth and Hopkinsville Fire and EMS Public Information Officer Lt. Payton Rogers says 48-year-old Lance Johnson of Clarksville was taken to Jennie Stuart Medical Center and from there flown to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville for head injuries and possible internal injuries.

The driver of the other vehicle, 76-year-old Angel Maros of Trenton, was taken to Jennie Stuart for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

A Hopkinsville police department collision report says officers were investigating reports of a reckless driver in the area about 20 minutes before the collision, and Johnson’s vehicle matched the description.
