Murray Man Charged with DUI Following Crash

A Murray man was charged with DUI following an accident on KY 121 Saturday afternoon.

The Calloway County Sheriff's Department says that deputies were called to the 5400 block of KY 121 in Stella, shortly after 4:30 pm.

The investigation showed that a vehicle driven by 39-year-old Jeremy Darnell, of Murray, failed to observe a vehicle driven by 29-year-old Jonathan Casner, also of Murray, which was pulling a trailer and slowing to turn into a driveway.

Darnell's vehicle struck the rear of Casner's trailer causing both vehicles to leave the roadway.

Deputies say that Darnell admitted that he was drinking alcohol and driving.

Both drivers refused treatment at the scene, but Casner later was treated at Murray-Calloway County Hospital for injuries.

Darnell was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, second offense, and was taken to the Calloway County Detention Center.
