According to Grayson County Sheriff’s Deputy Robert Jackson, Christopher Baker, 20, Shepherdsville, was traveling eastbound on the WK Parkway when his car struck a tractor-trailer in the left side, causing Baker’s vehicle to overturn numerous times. Baker’s 1998 Honda Civic ended up coming to a rest facing northbound in the slow lane of traffic.
Lauren Heil (who was a witness to the accident) explained that Baker was ejected through the passenger side of his car, and was found lying on the ground.
In Jackson’s report, he explained that Christian County Yellow Ambulance workers responded to the scene of the accident and rendered aid to Baker.
Heil added that Baker had attempted to pass the semi-truck and trailer, driven by Alvin Clan, at a high rate of speed.
Baker was airlifted to University of Louisville Hospital by LifeNet services, where he was treated for head trauma and possible fractures to his shoulder and arms.
In a separate accident Sunday night, a Big Clifty woman suffered minor injuries after being involved in a two-vehicle accident.
