At 7:30 a.m., a southbound 1985 Nissan 300 ZX driven by Genesis Feather, 18, of Campbellsville, crossed the center line and struck a northbound 1993 GMC Sierra pickup driven by David Marcum, 72, of Magnolia.

The head-on crash occurred near the intersection of O.O. Despain Road.

Feather’s car came to rest on the left side of the roadway. Marcum’s truck landed on its side in the middle of the roadway. Both were trapped inside their vehicles and were extricated by emergency crews.

Both were flown to University of Louisville Hospital by Life Net with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries, according to Trooper Scott Rafferty of Kentucky State Police.

A family member said Marcum suffered a broken hip and wrist and would need surgery. He is expected to be in the hospital several days.

Tuesday, Feather said she suffered a broken collarbone and chipped vertebrae. She expected to leave the hospital later that day.

“Compared to the damage on my car, I’m OK,” she said.

LaRue County EMS, LaRue County and Buffalo fire departments, the LaRue County Sheriff’s office and Constable Ira Bloyd Jr. also responded to the scene.

The scene was cleared about 9 a.m.
