Two Pig residents were sent to the hospital yesterday evening as a result of a two vehicle collision on 31W yesterday near Rocky Hill, according to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said around 6pm on October 17th, Judy Keown, (67) of Pig attempted to cross 31W from HWY 422 (Pig Rd) in a gray Chevy Tahoe when she pulled into the path of Nicholas Billa, (29) of Park City, who was driving a Ford F150.

Deputies said Billa was headed north on 31W and was pulling a trailer that carried a commercial mower. According to the Sheriff's Office, Keown did not see the truck and the Ford struck the Tahoe in the rear passenger door, which knocked the Tahoe down an embankment.
