On Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 4:49pmCT, Adair County 911 received a call that a vehicle had struck a person in the 1500 block of KY 206 (Liberty Road). Upon arrival of Sheriff Brockman, it was found that 58-year-old Paul Dart of Columbia was walking east on the roadway with the flow of traffic. Dart was struck by the mirror of a 2017 Chevrolet SUV being operated by Bonnie Powell, who was also traveling east.
Multiple witnesses gave statements that they too had also almost struck the male prior to the collision. Witnesses also stated he was on the roadway and not on the shoulder. At the time of the collision, it was almost dark, and the pedestrian’s clothing was dark in nature.
Dart was treated on scene by Adair EMS then transported to TJ Health Columbia. Air Flight was denied due to icing conditions, so he was transferred to the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, KY by EMS.
Sheriff Brockman is continuing the investigation.
