A two-vehicle wreck on the bypass near Heritage Christian Academy yesterday afternoon injured both drivers.

The incident happened around 3:30, according to the report from Hopkinsville Police, which says 18-year old Tabitha Nixon of Herndon was attempting to turn left across the eastbound lanes and into the entrance of Heritage Christian Academy.

Ms. Nixon turned into the path of 60-year old James Burke of Hopkinsville, who said there was a tractor trailer in the left turn lane next to him which may have kept her from seeing him.

Both drivers sustained injuries in the incident, though the report only lists Ms. Nixon as having been taken to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for her injuries.
