Five people were injured today in a two vehicle accident. Officers responded to the accident just before 3:00 PM on Monday at the intersection of Blandville Road and North Gum Springs. Police say 54-year-old Leeanne Smotherman and her passenger, 77-year-old Nancy Nichols, were making a left turn onto North Gum Springs. While doing this, they were hit in the rear by another car being driven by Nancy Brown, 51, of Bardwell, KY. Brown and her passengers, 72-year-old Maria Lynn and 4-year-old Kennedy Brown were taken with the other three to local hospitals for treatment.
In these kinds of cases, it is often times difficult to determine early on who is at fault. It is important to hire an attorney early says Finis Price, an attorney with Kentucky Lawyers. All too often police investigators officially say the cause of a crash is unknown yet our accident reconstructionist will tell us otherwise, says attorney Finis Price with Kentucky Lawyers. ”Quick response is the key to ensuring all witnesses’ statements are recorded and an accurate picture of the events which took place are captured,” he says.
