Three injured in U.S. 62 crash

The Elizabethtown Police Department responded to a serious traffic accident in E-Town Wednesday.

“Shortly before five o’clock Wednesday evening, we responded to a motor vehicle collision in the area of the U.S. 31W bypass and U.S. 62,” said EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “Our investigation revealed that a red Chevy truck driven by an adult female was traveling eastbound on U.S. 62 in an attempt to turn under the ramp to the southbound bypass. The truck crossed into the path of a westbound Chevy passenger car, resulting in a collision.”

Both of the occupants of the passenger car sustained serious injuries and were transported from the scene. The driver of the truck was also transported for medical care.

The EPD says no criminal charges are expected as a result of the crash.
