Deputies say 39-year-old Randi E. Howard of West Paducah was driving at an excessive speed when she reached the stop sign at Metropolis Lake Road. Howard crossed into the westbound lane and collided head on with a pickup truck driven by 44-year-old Felicity Jones of Paducah. 

After the initial collision, deputies say Jones’ vehicle then collided with another pickup that was stopped at the stop sign driven by 79-year-old Robert Lynn of Kevil.

Howard and Jones were both transported to Baptist Health Hospital serious injures.  Howard was cited and released at the hospital due to her injuries.

Woodville Road west of Metropolis Lake Road was closed for approximately one hour by the accident.
