On March 9, 2023, at approximately 3:25pm, McCracken County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the intersection of Oaks Road and Lydon Road, regarding a three-vehicle injury collision, involving an ambulance.
Investigation revealed Breezy Joiner,20, was operating a 2018 Ford Econoline (Mercy Regional Ambulance) Westbound on Sheehan Bridge Road. As Joiner crossed the intersection of Oaks Road, the ambulance was struck by a Southbound, 2008 Buick Lacrosse, occupied by Bobby Sikes, 84, and Catherine Sikes, 81, of Symsonia. This impact caused the ambulance to spine 180 degree, before it struck a 2017 Dodge Journey, occupied by Henry Porter, 41, also of Symsonia. Porter had been Eastbound on Lydon Road approaching the intersection.
At the time of the collision the ambulance was transporting a 20-year-old female. She was not injured during the collision and was ultimately taken to a local hospital in a different ambulance. The other staff members on board were Justin Jackson, 20, and Joshua Fox, 31.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Sikes were transported to local hospitals for non-incapacitating injuries.
All other parties were not injured during the collision.
