Two different drivers walked away with very minor injuries after their vehicles collided this morning around 5:45am at the junction of KY HWY 70 and HWY 187.

According to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, Dale Logsdon, (60) of Sunfish was heading west on HWY 70 (Morgantown Rd) in a Ford Ranger pickup when Stacy Dixon (35) of Mammoth Cave attempted to pull out onto HWY 70 from HWY 187. 

The vehicles collided at the junction and Logsdon's pickup landed on its driver side. Logsdon said he was able to stand on his lunch cooler and climb out of the truck on the passenger side. He had minor scrapes.

Dixon also had minor injuries and both drivers refused medical treatment at the scene. Each driver also made statements to their beliefs that the results could have certainly been much worse.

Responding to the scene were the Bear Creek and Brownsville Fire Departments, in addition to the KY State Highway Dept. and the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office.
