ACSO: Two-vehicle injury accident on Liberty Rd.

By Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office


On Tuesday, April 2, 2019, the Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to the 7500 block of Liberty Road for a two vehicle accident with injuries.

A preliminary investigation determined that an East-bound 1994 Freightliner pulling a 2016 B&B 38 foot trailer, operated by Lemuel Gaskin, 74, of Columbia tried to brake to prevent hitting a vehicle stopped in traffic making a left hand turn.

When Gaskin braked, he was unable to control his vehicle, skidding into the West-bound lane, where he struck a West-bound 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe operated by Charles Hicks, 29, of Columbia.

Hick's vehicle continued on, striking a culvert and overturning before landing upright in a field. Hicks was transported by Adair County EMS to T.J Health Columbia, and later flown by Air Med to University of Louisville Hospital for injuries sustained.


Gaskin was treated and released at the scene.

The Adair County Sheriff's Office and Sheriff Josh Brockman were assisted on the scene by Adair County EMS, the Adair County Fire Department, and CVE Officer C. Tooley.

Deputy Derek Padgett is still investigating.
