A single-vehicle crash early Thursday morning left a 20-year-old driver with critical injuries after being ejected and pinned underneath the vehicle.
Around 2:33 a.m., Hopkinsville Fire Department Fire and EMS units responded to the intersection of Novadell Way and Fort Campbell Boulevard following reports of a severe accident. Callers informed dispatch that the lone occupant of the vehicle had been ejected during the crash and was trapped underneath the automobile.
Emergency crews arrived within minutes and confirmed the patient’s position. Firefighters and EMS personnel coordinated a rapid response, working together to lift and secure the vehicle while providing emergency medical treatment.
An air medical helicopter was requested to the scene. Once extricated, the patient was transported to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, with critical injuries.
