Alcohol is suspected as a factor in an accident Sunday night in the construction zone of I-24 in Christian County that sent two people to the hospital.
Kentucky State Police investigated and say 40-year old Israel Sanchez of Columbia, Tennessee was westbound at a high rate of speed and rear-ended another westbound vehicle in the construction zone driven by 25-year old Toneisha Williams of Hopkinsville.
Both vehicles went off the interstate following the collision and police say Sanchez fled the scene.
Williams and her passenger, 27-year old Tomika Quarles of Hopkinsville, were taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for injuries.
Sanchez was located and charged with DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a license.
