A driver, her passenger, and the car's engine was ejected from a vehicle that left the roadway in a single vehicle accident on Sunday, March 3rd around 4pm, according to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.

Emergency workers were dispatched to the 9000 block of Wingfield Church Road (HWY 1749) where a 2007 Ford sedan, driven by Clara Natasha Lindsey (30) of Brownsville had crashed. Authorities reported that according to scene evidence, the car had been traveling north on 1749 when it exited the right side of the roadway.

Evidence also indicated that the driver over corrected, which caused the vehicle to travel across both lanes of traffic and then exit the left side of the roadway, where it struck two different trees, according to the sheriff's office. 

The driver and her passenger, who was identified as Jerry Matthew Napier, (30), of Brownsville, were both ejected through the windshield. Deputies said they were found approximately 20 feet from the vehicle.
