Glasgow man charged with DUI
A Glasgow man was arrested Thursday after he crashed his car along New Bowling Green Road, US 68-KY 80, around 7:30 p.m. The Barren County Sheriff’s Department, Barren-Metcalfe Emergency Medical Services and South Barren Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene approximately four miles west of Glasgow, according to a BCSO report.
Preston R. Wright, 21, 3409 Park City Glasgow Road, was traveling west on New Bowling Green Road when he lost control of a 1991 Nissan Maxima, causing the vehicle to travel off the right side of the roadway and strike a utility pole before overturning and coming to a final rest on its top, according to the report. The utility pole was snapped into two pieces.
