Elizabethtown woman crashes into home near Lincoln Trail Elementary School

An Elizabethtown woman suffered an apparent medical emergency and crashed her car into a home near Lincoln Trail Elementary School Friday.

“At approximately 11:04 a.m. this morning, we received a report of a motor vehicle accident in the 5200 block of Bardstown Road,” said Hardin County Sheriff John Ward. “It was called in as a one-vehicle injury accident. Somebody had run off the right side of the roadway, striking a home.”

Ward said deputies arrived on scene and discovered that an 88-year-old female from Elizabethtown “had a diabetic emergency and blacked out, went off the right side of the roadway, striking the chimney of a home and doing minor damage to the home.”

The driver of the vehicle was transported to Baptist Health Hardin by ground transportation. Air Ambulance was initially called to the scene but the helicopter was canceled.

Ward did not have an update on the driver’s condition as of Friday afternoon. The sheriff said no other injuries resulted from the vehicle collision.

Hardin County Schools noted on social media that the accident did not impact Lincoln Trail Elementary School.
