Two more were sent to the hospital this afternoon in the second Edmonson County crash of the day as emergency responders were called out to Oak Hill Road, just north of the Willie Webb Road intersection around 3:30pm.

Authorities said that Theresa Wheat, (57) of Brownsville, was headed north on Oak Hill Road in a 1992 Chevy Blazer when for an unknown reason dropped off the right shoulder of the road. She reportedly was unable to keep control of the SUV and it traveled for approximately 100 feet on a grassy bank before coming to rest at the bottom of an embankment, narrowly missing several trees and a concrete drainage tile.

She and her passenger, Timothy Webb, (54) also of Brownsville, were both transported to the hospital via Edmonson EMS for non-life threatening injuries. 

Also responding to the scene were the Brownsville and Chalybeate Fire Departments and the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office. ​
