​​The Kentucky State Police Post 3 Bowling Green responded to a two vehicle injury collision today at approx. 3:58 pm on Oak Hill Road in Edmonson County.
 
Officials said that Margarett Oller (17) of Brownsville, a senior at Edmonson County High School, was operating a 2006 Saturn Ion and was traveling southbound on Oak Hill Road when she dropped off the right shoulder of the roadway and over-corrected.  

KSP reported that the vehicle then went into the opposing lane and struck a northbound 2011 Nissan Juke that was being operated by Courtney Johnson (26) of Brownsville.
