On 06/26/09 at approx. 1402 hrs, the McCracken County Sheriff's Dept was dispatched to the area of Clinton Rd and Jilson Rd for an injury accident. Upon arrival, it was found that 17 year old Joshua Lynn of Melber was driving South bound on Clinton Rd in a 1997 Mitsubishi passenger car. It was found that a farmer was burning and plowing a field in the area of Clinton and Jilson. Lynn stated that as he rounded a curved the smoke and dust made visibility nearly zero. Lynn rear ended a 2002 Ford Pickup driven by 68 year old Kennteh Peck of Melber. Peck was stopped in the road due to the visibility from the smoke/ dust. Peck stated that he could not see the yellow line on the roadway due to the smoke. Both Lynn and Peck were transported to Western Baptist Hospital for apparent minor injuries. The farmer that was burning the field could not be located at time of report. Deputies were assisted at the scene by the Melber Fire Dept and Mercy Regional Medical.

Thanks,
