Two Hopkinsville women were injured in a serious traffic collision Sunday morning on Fort Campbell Boulevard, according to local authorities. The crash resulted in one vehicle overturning and left one driver with severe injuries requiring air transport to a Nashville hospital.

The accident occurred at approximately 8:54 a.m. along Fort Campbell Boulevard, a heavily traveled roadway in Hopkinsville. According to the Hopkinsville Police Department, 39-year-old Whitney Frost was operating a northbound sport utility vehicle and attempting to turn into the Arby’s restaurant when her vehicle collided with a southbound passenger car driven by 18-year-old Kiesherra Cushenberry.

The impact of the collision caused Frost’s SUV to overturn. The vehicle came to rest upside down, prompting a significant emergency response from local police, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel.
