From Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office

On Monday, March 11, 2024, at around 4:43pmCT, the Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to a 3-vehicle collision with injuries just inside the city limits on KY 55 North.

The collision occurred when Charles Barnes 91, of Columbia, who was operating a 2016 Kia, attempted to make a turn from a private drive onto KY 55. Barnes pulled into the path of a 2013 Chevy Cruze operated by Michael Keene, 63, also of Columbia, who was traveling south on KY55.

Keene was unable to avoid contact with Barnes, striking the Barnes vehicle on the driver's side. Keene's vehicle then spun into the northbound lane of KY 55, where it was struck by a 2015 Nissan being operated by Elmer Yoder, 32, of Columbia, who was traveling north.


Barnes was treated on scene by Adair EMS and transported to TJ Health Columbia. He was then airlifted by helicopter to University of Louisville Hospital. A passenger in Keene's vehicle was treated on scene and then transported to TJ Health Columbia for additional treatment.

Chief Deputy Brandon Hitch is investigating the collision. He was assisted by Deputy Jason Camfield.

Agencies responding included Adair County 911, the Adair County Sheriff's Office, the Columbia Police Department, Adair County EMS, and the Columbia - Adair County Fire Department.
