Somerset — Two local women were hospitalized following a three-vehicle accident Monday afternoon at the intersection of East Ky. 80 and Ky. 461.
At 1:54 p.m., the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department responded to a report of an injury accident at the intersection eight miles east of Somerset, where they were assisted by the Shopville-Stab Fire Department.
According to the sheriff’s department, Tamara Doyle, 25, of McKee Road, Somerset, was driving a 1998 Chevrolet and attempting to cross Ky. 80 from the J.C. Deli parking lot onto Ky. 461. While attempting to cross, Doyle’s vehicle pulled into the path of a westbound 1995 GMC operated by Travis Mclain, 66, of Bryan, Texas.
After the initial impact, the Doyle vehicle then struck a 2002 Volkswagen being driven by Heather Powell, 29, of Valley Oak Welborn Road, Somerset. Powell was headed southbound on Ky. 461 and was stopped at the intersection waiting to cross Ky. 80.
Both Doyle and Powell were treated at the scene and transported to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital by Somerset EMS, where they were treated in the emergency room but not admitted.
There were no external factors contributing to the accident, according to the sheriff’s department.
