Preliminary investigations show 58 year-old Randy Johnson of Glasgow was operating a 2017 Volvo traveling east on the parkway. Johnson for an unknown reason lost control of his vehicle entering the median traveling into the west bound lanes. Johnson’s vehicle traveled off the roadway striking an earth embankment leaving his trailer crossways in the roadway. 47 year-old William Davis of Madisonville was operating a 2010 Freightliner traveling west on the parkway when he struck the trailer trapping him in his vehicle. Davis was extricated from the vehicle by the Adair County and Metcalfe County Fire and Rescue Squads. Johnson and Davis were wearing their seat belts and were transported to T. J. Samson Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
