MAYFIELD - Three people were taken to the hospital Friday afternoon after a crash in Mayfield.

The Mayfield Police Department said that around 2:45 p.m. 24-year-old Jessica Willis of Benton was on Kentucky 97 and turned left at the green light onto KY 80 West. As Willis entered the intersection, another vehicle driven by 44-year-old Daren Pingel of Murray hit her vehicle. 

Police said Pingel told them he looked away for a moment and didn't see Willis' vehicle before it was too late to avoid the crash.

Willis and two small children who were passengers in her vehicle were taken to Jackson Purchase Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
