UPDATE:
PEDESTRIAN WAS TRYING TO HELP OTHERS WHEN SHE WAS HIT BY CAR; SUFFERED BROKEN LEG, IS IN STABLE CONDITION
LOUISA, KY. — A call came in to 911 at 10:20 p.m. by Ryan Caudill of Louisa that a horse was in the road on Route 23 across from Quality Metals. Caudill pulled off the side of the road and turned on his emergency blinkers to make people aware and to prevent the accident.
But it didn’t work.
The next driver came through, Todell Castle of Ashland moving into the fast lane to avoid the car and then hit and killed the horse. Castle then pulled off in front of the Jeep on the shoulder of the road.
Passengers from the initial vehicles involved exited in an effort to check on the horse. While outside of their vehicles a third car driven by Katlyn Meadows of Barboursville, WV came through also hitting the horse and lost control of her vehicle and swiping Terina Evans of Ashland, Ky. who was walking the scene and checking on everyone.
Sheriff Garrett Robert stated that Evans was flown by Health Net and the last he had heard was that it had broken her femur, but she is stable.
