Two people were severely injured Saturday evening in a one-vehicle accident in northern Pulaski County.
Josh Hogue, 29, and Timothy Wallace, 35, were both flown out from the scene of the accident, located on Singleton Road in Eubank, for treatment of severe injuries sustained in the crash.
The accident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Hogue was operating a Jeep when the vehicle apparently left the roadway and overcorrected. The Jeep then flipped an unknown number of times before coming to a rest in a field to the side of the roadway, according to Kentucky State Trooper Chris Ison, who responded to the scene.
Witness Stephanie Luttrell, who lives near the scene of the crash, said she observed the Jeep traveling down Singleton Road at a high rate of speed. Luttrell noted that the Jeep nearly traveled out of control when she first caught sight of the vehicle.
It was after the vehicle traveled out of sight when Luttrell and friend Jessica Saylor heard the crash.
“It (the Jeep) about flipped there (when they first observed the vehicle), and two seconds later we heard the Jeep flip,” Luttrell said.
Luttrell said when she and Saylor got to the scene they saw that Hogue had been ejected from the vehicle.
“I didn’t expect to see something like that,” Saylor said.
Ison said at the scene that alcohol played a factor in the accident, and he said Hogue will likely be charged with driving under the influence.
Hogue was flown to the University of Kentucky Medical Center by LifeNet, and Wallace was soon after flown out by Air Evac for treatment of his injuries.
Along with LifeNet and Air Evac, Kentucky State Police was assisted on the scene by Eubank Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, Pulaski County Rescue Squad and Somerset-Pulaski EMS.
