Stanford, Kentucky (Lincoln County) Car Accidents Lead To Injuries But Displays Responsibility Of Those Involved

Two separate car crashes on U.S. 27 south of Stanford, Kentucky (Lincoln County) resulted in multiple injuries. However, the responsibility on display by those involved probably kept it from being worse and may be the reason that we are not discussing fatalities. In all, seven people, including two infants, were injured. Remarkably, everyone involved was either wearing a seatbelt or strapped into a car seat.

Wreck #1: Occurred at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Shake Rag Road when a Saturn car driven by Kacey Tramontano, which had stopped to make a turn, was rear ended by a Kia Sorento. Ms. Tramontano, Brandon Dowell and a 6 and 18 month-old child were injured severely enough to require helicopter transportation.

Wreck #2: Occurred at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Tick Ridge Road when a Mercury Sable driven by Jennifer Sims attempted to turn from U.S. 27 onto Tick Ridge Road and collided head-on with a Ford Contour traveling in the opposite direction. Although not confirmed, it appears that the Sable was attempting to turn left and went into the path of the Contour. Linda Allen and two of her passengers were injured and required treatment at a hospital.

It is not hard to imagine the outcome of these accidents being much worse than they were. Thankfully, those involved displayed responsibility and kept it from being worse.
