Local man injured in East Ninth Street crash

One person was injured in a rear-end collision Wednesday afternoon on East Ninth Street.

It happened a few minutes before 1 o’clock and the report from Hopkinsville police says 31-year old Ronda Hutchinson of Hopkinsville was stopped and waiting to make a left turn into a residence on East Ninth when she was rear-ended by an eastbound car operated by 53-year old Jeffrey Caldwell of Hopkinsville.

Caldwell told officers he was topping a hill and didn’t realize Hutchinson was stopped until it was too late to avoid a collision.

Caldwell went by private vehicle to Jennie Stuart Medical Center.
