Baptist Youth Group Survives Crash with Kentucky Semi Truck

June 10, 2010 - A Baptist youth group visiting Kentucky from Georgia was fortunate enough to survive a terrifying truck accident with a semi-truck on June 9 on Highway 92 in Whitley County.

According to reports by ABP News, 2 adult sponsors and 3 teenagers were injured in the truck accident on a hairpin turn that is notoriously difficult to navigate. The van driver and his wife were the most seriously injured of the group and were airlifted to the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington. They are both expected to survive their injuries.

The 3 injured teens were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries and later released. They have since continued doing the Mission work they intended to do while visiting Kentucky. Since there were 13 people in the passenger van involved in this truck accident, it's lucky more people were not seriously injured.

The truck involved in the accident was transporting coal. There has been no information on whether any charges will be brought against any of the drivers involved or how the truck accident might have occurred.
