Brumley was listed in fair condition at the UK Medical Center.
Authorities responded to another accident at 10:11 p.m. Friday at the intersection of S. U.S. 27 and Ky. 914 that involved two vehicles and left several people injured.
According to the sheriff’s department, Timothy L. Combs II, 16, of Helvetia Road, London, was operating a 1996 Nissan southbound on South U.S. 27 when he attempted to make a left turn onto Ky. 914 and collided with a northbound 1996 Honda.
According to the press release, Combs failed to stop for the traffic signal at the intersection.
The driver of the Honda, Valerie Simpson, 18, of Faubush Road, Nancy, was treated at the scene and transported to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital by Somerset Fire/EMS.
Two passengers in Combs’ vehicle, John Minniard, 16, of Fishermans Cove, London, and Tiffany Napier, 16, of Chaney Ridge Road, London, were also treated at the scene and transported to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department was assisted at both scenes by the Parkers Mill Fire Department.

Business booming for new liquor store
Five liquor licenses were approved for Somerset and the third store to open was this past week.
Called "First Stop,"the new package store it is located on the west side of U.S. 27 between lights 20 and 21, which is a little north of TSC Tractor Supply. The owner is Charlotte Perdisaris and the manager is Michael Scott.
Perdisaris has been working on getting the store ready for a number of months but was delayed by the shipment and installation of a large 10 x 20 foot walk-in cooler that lines the back of the shop. Otherwise, she thought they could have opened much earlier and, perhaps, have even been the first to open.With such a large cooler, they have a large supply of beer and wine in it to choose from. As to other spirits, they have a large variety of brands, especially high end brands such as Crown Royal and R&R. In addition, they have beer singles on ice. At this time, they are the only local liquor store selling beer in kegs.
First Stop is the last liquor store to open that is locally owned and operated. The remaining two licenses are to drug store retailers. -
