Wrong-Way Crash Seriously Injures 2

File

Two people are seriously injured after a wrong-way crash on the Veterans Memorial Parkway in Evansville. 

Police say it happened at 1:15 Wednesday morning in the eastbound lanes of the parkway near Waterworks Road.

In a release, EPD Sgt. Nick Winsett said a vehicle going the wrong direction collided head on with another vehicle.

Winsett said a third vehicle was also hit after the initial collision.

Evansville Firefighters extricated both drivers from the head-on crash. They were taken to hospitals for what police called “seemingly serious injuries.” 

The third driver reported no injuries. 

Two passengers from the wrong-way crash were also taken to hospitals to be checked for minor injuries.

Investigators – including an accident re-constructionist -- were on the scene for two-and-a-half hours.

The names of the injured have not been released.
