Two injured in Lyon County collision

Two people were taken to a local hospital following a crash in Kuttawa earlier this month.

According to a news release from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, the two-vehicle collision occurred around noon at the intersection of US 62 West and Days Inn Drive. Investigation determined that a vehicle driven by 20-year-old Jatorion Civils of Madisonville was westbound on US 62 when another vehicle abruptly changed lanes into his path.

Civils swerved to avoid collision but ended up striking a different vehicle driven by 41-year-old Matthew Daniel of Nashville, who was stopped at the traffic light on Days Inn Drive.

Two minor passengers in Civils’ vehicle were transported to Baptist Health in Madisonville for treatment of injuries.
