Details released on downtown accident involving officer

Details have been released on a two-vehicle accident from Wednesday morning that injured three people, including a Hopkinsville police officer.

The report from HPD says Officer Larry Johnston was southbound on South Main Street and said he was looking at information on the call he was headed to and did not see until it was too late that the light at East Seventh Street had turned red.

His cruiser collided with a westbound SUV operated by 73-year old William Still of Hopkinsville.

Both drivers and Still’s passenger, 83-year old Cordonna Rust of Hopkinsville, were all taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.
