Three people injured in two-car collision

Monticello — Three people were injured in a two-car collision that occurred in the

Frazer community on Sunday, February 15.

According to Wayne County Deputy Ronnie Ellis, two women involved in

the crash were airlifted to another hospital for treatment of injuries.

Carolyn Carrender, 41, of Monticello, was flown from the scene of the

crash, at the intersection of KY 1568 (also known as Strawberry Road) and KY

90, to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. She was in the ICU on

Monday morning, listed in critical but stable condition.

Rose Greer, of McMinnville, Tennessee, was flown from the Wayne County

Hospital to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment of

injuries. Her condition was not available at press time.

Robert Greer, also of McMinnville, Tennessee, was taken to the local

hospital, following the collision.

Ellis said that Carrender was operating a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire on KY

1568. He said that Carrender was crossing KY 90 when she pulled into the

path of a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville, operated by Robert Greer. The Pontiac was

traveling west on KY 90.

The accident occurred at 11:55 a.m. Sunday. Ellis said that traffic flow

was not a serious problem in that area, and he commended the Monticello Fire

Department for their hard work at the scene to keep traffic moving on KY 90.

Also assisting at the scene was the Kentucky Department of Fish and

Wildlife and the Wayne County EMS.
