A Trigg County man was flown to a Nashville hospital and four other people were injured following a two-vehicle crash Sunday night in Elkton.

Birl was flown by Air Evac to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville and his wife, 77-year old Naomi Birl, was taken by EMS to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
Moore and a passenger, 81-year old Peggy Whited of Franklin, were taken by ambulance to Greenview Medical Center in Bowling Green. Another passenger in the pickup, 45-year old Brian Wilson of Franklin, was transported to Jennie Stuart.
The extent of everyone’s injuries wasn’t immediately known.
