PEMBROKE, Ky. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Two children were LifeFlighted to Nashville with severe injuries Friday morning after a crash in Christian County.
Christian County Deputies and first responders were dispatched at approximately 6:40 a.m. on West Nashville Street in the area of the entrance to Bluegrass Lodge Apartments. According to preliminary investigations, a vehicle driven by 42-year-old Chad Bryant of Elkton, Ky. was traveling westbound towards Hopkinsville in that area when the vehicle struck two children who were in the roadway in the westbound lane.
Authorities believe the children were in the area waiting for the school bus. It is unclear why the children were in the travel portion of the roadway, and there is no indication that the vehicle driven by Bryant left the roadway at any time.
The two children were LifeFlighted to Vanderbilt shortly after the crash with severe injuries.
There are no charges pending at this time, however investigators will be speaking with the family of the children as well as any witnesses to the event.
Bryant was not injured and it does not appear that any alcohol or control substances were a contributing factor.
The names and ages of the victims have not been released.
