Slick roads and black ice played a role in several accidents throughout the county on Friday (Dec. 23), the Grayson County Sheriff's Department reported.

According to the GCSO, Kimberly Whitfill, 30, of Caneyville, was traveling to work on Highway 79 (near Pine Knob Road) early Friday morning when she reportedly lost control of her vehicle on a sheet of ice, ran into a ditch, and overturned, trapping Whitfill inside the vehicle.

Members of the Caneyville Fire Department and Leitchfield Fire Department had to extricate Whitfill from her damaged vehicle and she was then transported by the Grayson County EMS to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center for her injuries.

The accident occurred just after 6:30 a.m.

Also on Friday, a vehicle being driven by Steven Nagy, of Radcliff, was traveling south on Highway 479 (Wax Road) when it slid off the road because of black ice.

According to the GCSO, Nagy's vehicle went off the right side of the road and struck a tree.

He was transported by EMS to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center as a result of his injuries, which were reported as minor.

Sheriff's deputies also worked an accident on U.S. 62 Friday involving Kayla Gretcher, of Clarkson.

Police said Gretcher was traveling west when her vehicle left the roadway and struck a sign.

She reportedly went to the hospital by private means.

And a non-injury accident Friday morning damaged the vehicle of a Hopkinsville woman.

The GCSO reported that Deborah Johnson was traveling west on the Western Kentucky Parkway when she lost control of her vehicle because of ice and hit an embankment, turning the vehicle over onto its top.

Johnson was not hurt in the accident.

Dispatchers with Grayson County's E-911 also reported several other non-injury accidents in the county on Friday.
