Shortly after 3:00 pm Monday, McCracken County Sheriff's Deputies responded to McCracken County High School for a four vehicle crash with injuries. Police said 17-year-old Ellie Brower of Paducah was driving north in the school's parking lot when she was distracted and took her eyes off the road. She then reportedly hit 17-year-old Justin Fatum, of Paducah. Police said 17-year-old Kyler Garner, of Paducah then stopped to avoid hitting Brower's vehicle. Deputies said 16-year-old Heather Harned, of Paducah didn't see Garner stop because she was distracted, and was unable to avoid a collision, which caused Garner to collide with Bower.
Harned was taken to Western Baptist Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police said Brower and Harned both admitted to looking at their phones prior to the crash.
