A two-vehicle wreck on the Purchase Parkway Monday night left one person injured.

According to the Graves County Sheriff's Office, the crash happened at around 6:45 pm at exit 14 in the southbound lanes of the parkway.

Deputies said Amanda Pickler of Murray was traveling down the on ramp from KY 339 to the southbound lanes of the parkway. When Pickler tried to merge from the ramp onto the parkway, she reportedly pulled into the path of a semi truck and trailer driven by Dale Massek of Paducah.

According to deputies, Massek could not avoid colliding with Pickler and hit her in the driver's side of her SUV. Massek lost control of his semi and went through a guardrail on the west side of the parkway and then jackknifed.

Pickler was transported to Jackson Purchase Medical Center for treatment of her injuries. Massek was not injured.
