WRECK SENDS CADIZ CHILD TO HOSPITAL

            IT WAS RAINING, BUT THAT DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR IN A WRECK THIS MORNING AT LAFAYETTE ROAD AND THE BYPASS.

            THE REPORT FROM HOPKINSVILLE POLICE SAYS 34-YEAR OLD ASHLEY WRIGHT OF CADIZ HAD A GREEN ARROW TO TURN ONTO THE BYPASS JUST AFTER 7 O’CLOCK.

            WHEN MS. WRIGHT PROCEEDED, SHE WAS STRUCK BY A VEHICLE DRIVEN BY 48-YEAR OLD BELINDA WALDRON OF HOPKINSVILLE. A WITNESS SAID MS. WALDRON DROVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT INTO THE INTERSECTION.

            BOTH DRIVERS WENT UNIJURED, BUT MS. WRIGHT’S PASSENGER—8-YEAR OLD AUSTIN WRIGHT OF CADIZ—WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO JENNIE STUART MEDICAL CENTER.
