A Monday afternoon wreck on Pennyrile Parkway, three miles north of the Crofton exit, injured five people, two of them seriously.
Christian County Sheriff’s deputies say a northbound vehicle ran off the roadway, went through a guardrail, and down an embankment, hitting a tree.
Four people, including children, had to be extricated from the vehicle by the Christian County Rescue Team with one child found under the SUV.
Two people were flown from the scene to Nashville hospitals with severe injuries. Three more people from the vehicle were taken by ambulance to Baptist Health in Madisonville with injuries.
The crash happened just after 2 pm.
