Passenger injured in wreck
An Oakland man was injured Thursday when the vehicle he was a passenger in struck a tree near Ky. 1297 in the Glasgow city limits, officials with the Glasgow Police Department said.
Dustin Davis, 18, of 3826 Glasgow Road, was transported by Barren-Metcalfe EMS to T.J. Samson Community Hospital for treatment.
The driver, Virginia M. Morrison, 36, of 238 Olive Springs, Bowling Green, told police she was traveling westbound on Ky. 1297 when a vehicle in front of her suddenly stopped in the roadway. Morrison attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle by swerving, causing her 1993 Toyota sport utility pickup truck to leave the roadway and to strike a tree, police said.
Morrison and a second passenger, 14-year-old Crystal Morrison, also of Bowling Green, were not injured in the accident.
All parties were wearing seat belts when the wreck occurred, according to police reports.
