(WASHINGTON) - A 19-year-old girl was flown from Daviess County to Evansville after her car was hit by a semi on Thursday morning.
The accident was reported around 7:30 a.m.
According to police, Abigail Kelsey was in a 2006 Nissan on State Road 57 at Sandy Hook Curve south of Washington and went off the right side of the road and over-corrected.
