Details Released on Cumberland Parkway Accident early Friday due to Slick Roadway

 

On Friday, February 4, 2022 at 5:01amCT, the Adair County Sheriffs Office was dispatched to the 41 mile marker east bound on the LBN Cumberland Parkway. Adair 911 had received reports of multiple collisions in the area. 

 

Upon arrival and investigation, Deputy Chandler Staten found that a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, operated by 29-year-old Bethany Lickeig of Edmonton, KY had stopped on the Parkway due to the roadway being blocked by a turned over 2000 Freightliner tractor and trailer, operated by 52-year-old Juan Diaz of Tennessee. A third vehicle, a 2019 Freightliner tractor and trailer operated by 45-year-old Calvin Rayford of Alabama, came upon the collision and was unable to stop. Rayford's semi and trailer jackknifed and began to slide down the Parkway sideways in the eastbound lane, striking the 2015 Jeep Cherokee operated by Ms. Lickeig.  

 

Bethany Lickeig was transported by Adair EMS to TJ Health Columbia for treatment of her injuries. The commercial vehicle operators were not injured.  

 

The collision prompted the closure of the Parkway at the Edmonton exit. Columbia Police Officers and additional Sheriff's Deputies were called out and closed down the Parkway at the 46 mile marker for nearly 7 hours. All other motorists between Edmonton and Adair County who had got stuck in traffic during the collision, had been sitting for hours. Those vehicles were eventually cleared off the roadway during the shutdown due to frigid temperatures and the possibility of the vehicles beginning to run out of gas, leaving the operators stranded and without heat.   

 

Ice on the roadways was a contributing factor in the collision. Many other vehicles had slid into the median but were not damaged.

 

The Sheriff's Office is continuing the investigation and thanks to Adair EMS, Columbia Police Department, Columbia-Adair Fire Department, Kentucky State Police, Emergency Management Director Mike Keltner, and the State Highway Department for all of their assistance.
