An 18-year-old Russell Springs man was flown to U.K. Medical Center following a motorcycle and pickup truck collision Sunday morning.
The crash happened just after nine o’clock, about three miles south of Russell Springs, at the intersection of Kentucky 379, also known as Hales Highway, and French Valley Road and Blair School Road.
Russell County Deputy Sheriff Nathan Bradshaw told WJRS NEWS that Nathan White was traveling west on French Valley Road on a 2024 Kawasaki motorcycle. Bradshaw said White stopped at the stop sign, then attempted to cross Hales Highway onto Blair School Road, striking a southbound Ford F-150 driven by 63-year-old David Mann of Liberty.
White was initially treated at the scene by EMS personnel, then transported to the Russell County Airport, where an emergency helicopter flew him to U.K. Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.
Mann was not injured.
The Russell Springs Fire Department also responded to assist at the scene.
