Police were called to West State Road 60 at approximately 5:46 A.M. after a 9-11 call.
Washington County Sheriff’s Department Deputies responded to a report of a multiple vehicle crash.
According to Sgt. Lucas Gray, the preliminary investigation indicated that a 2006 Chevy Colorado pickup truck, driven by Dotts was west bound on State Road 60 when it collided head-on with an east bound 2014 Ford F-150, driven by Batchelor.
After the crash occurred, a west bound 2017 Toyota Tacoma, driven by Brent Ingram of Campbellsburg, crashed into the Chevy Colorado which was stationary in the roadway.
Ingram was transported to St. Vincent Hospital in Salem for what is believed to be minor injury.
