Graves Man Faces Charges after Crashing Into House

A Lynnville man was arrested Thursday on DUI and other charges after the vehicle he was driving crashed into a home.

The Graves County Sheriff's Office said a deputy responded Thursday evening to a report of a reckless driver on KY 381. The caller said that the vehicle was traveling south towards Lynnville. Before the deputy arrived, the vehicle crashed into a mobile home on Swan Road, where the officer found 19-year-old Joshua West of Lynnville, outside of the vehicle walking around.

Deputies said the homeowners were home when the crash took place, and one of them was sitting on a couch about 15 feet away from the room that was struck by the truck. Another resident was outside in the back yard about 15 to 20 feet from a pickup truck that was also struck.

The deputy reportedly found West to be under the influence.

West refused medical treatment at the scene. He was arrested and taken to Jackson Purchase Medical Center, then to the Graves County Jail and booked on charges of first-offense DUI, reckless driving, and second-degree wanton endangerment.
