Rear End Collision Sends Teens To Hospital

Emergency personnel responded to the fourth injury accident in six days at a rear end collision at the junction of KY HWY 101 and KY HWY 3019 (old Chalybeate Road to Rhoda Creek) that sent two teens and one adult to the hospital on Sunday night.

Police said a 16 year old male (name was not released) was driving a 2013 Ford Focus northbound on 101 with a passenger, Laura Phillips of Brownsville. As the teen was preparing to turn left onto 3019, he was rear-ended by a 2002 Chevrolet Prism, driven by Lacey Outlaw, 16, of Mammoth Cave.
Police said Outlaw refused treatment at the scene from Edmonson EMS, but traveled to Greenview Regional Hospital with a family member. The teen driver of the other car and Phillips were transported the Medical Center by EMS for possible injuries. 

Police said possible distracted driving could have been a factor but no criminal charges are expected to be filed.

The road was closed for about an hour while the scene was cleared. Emergency responders had just finished the Brownsville Christmas Parade when they were paged. Some emergency vehicles were still in the high school parking lot as they returned from the parade route. One firefighter said if the call had come a few minutes earlier, a quick response would have been virtually impossible with the parade.

​Sheriff Shane Doyle encouraged drivers to use extra caution during the holidays. "People are busy this time of year, and more traffic is on the road. Please slow down and be aware of your surroundings."

The investigation was led by the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office. Also responding to the scene was the Chalybeate Fire Dept, Edmonson EMS, Brownsville Fire Dept, Brownsville Police, and District 2 Constable.

Curious as to why my daughter's name was released when she is a minor and the driver of the other cars name was not. And she is 17, not 16.

We don't know why the name of the other driver was withheld, but officials did not release it to us. And those were the details given to us by the Sheriff's department. As far as minors are concerned, law enforcement will release minors' names involved in traffic accidents that are age 16 and over, according to their standard policy. Sometimes they do not release names for whatever reason, and that's not up to us.

This is a prime example of why the Edmonson County Ambulance vehicles should not be tied up in the Christmas parade and the parade itself should be rethought. Here's what one of the firefighters said/// One firefighter said if the call had come a few minutes earlier, a quick response would have been virtually impossible with the parade.

The Ambulance Service has an ambulance placed on each end of town to be able to respond to a call on either side of the county.
