Twenty-one-year-old Demonta Woodward, also of Mounds, was airlifted to an out-of-state hospital in critical condition.
Twenty-five-year-old Keenan A. Parson, of Marion, IL, 28-year-old Cynthia White, and 29-year-old Miranda Williams, both of Paducah, were all taken to Paducah hospitals in stable condition.
