A Hodgenville woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday, March 25.

A 1990 Dodge Ram pickup, driven by Bobby Reece, 64, of Greensburg, was traveling on Greensburg Street and failed to stop at the intersection with East Main Street.

Reece’s vehicle collided with a 1990 Chevrolet pickup driven by Bonnie Hurt, 65, of Howardstown Road. Hurt’s truck was northbound on East Main Street. Both vehicles came to rest in a parking lot near the intersection.

A Hodgenville man received a suspended sentence after being found guilty of second degree assault, wanton endangerment and violation of an emergency protective order in LaRue Circuit Court March 16.

Police said David Michael Owens, 46, assaulted his ex-girlfriend on a city street June 4, 2008.

When they arrived on the scene, they found the woman in a nearby yard and a large amount of her hair in the roadway, according to court documents. Owens allegedly pulled out a handful of her hair and struck her with a pool stick.

I met Hubert Wright in 2002. He was sitting in the Hodgenville Service Center, spinning yarns and cracking jokes worthy of the late humorist Jerry Clower.

When I learned he was a beekeeper, I asked to write a story about him. During that interview at his home in Magnolia, he told me about his heart.

Hubert had a series of heart attacks in 1986. His cardiac muscle was nearly destroyed. His only chance at survival was for a heart transplant.
