The crash happened around 6:00 am on Westplains Road, near Herman Road. According to the Graves County Sheriff's Office, 19-year-old Claire Thomas, of Fancy Farm, was westbound on Westplains Road when she topped a hill and struck an eastbound motorcycle reportedly in her lane.
Deputies said the operator of the motorcycle, 36-year-old Dustin Bell, of Mayfield, was not wearing a helmet and suffered multiple injuries. He was treated by Mayfield-Graves County EMS and taken to the parking lot at Trace Creek Baptist Church, where he was airlifted to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, IN.
Thomas had minor scrapes from airbag deployment, but was otherwise uninjured.
Deputies say the investigation is ongoing and charges against Bell are expected.
