A state police preliminary investigation “indicates that a 2014 Ford Focus, operated by 23-year-old Dru Smith of Glasgow, was parked along the side of the roadway [when a] 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander, driven by 31-year-old Cory Bowles, also of Glasgow, was traveling southbound when it veered off the roadway and collided with Smith’s parked vehicle,” according to the state police.
Smith was airlifted to the University of Louisville Hospital.
Cory Bowles is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and fourth-degree assault.
The investigation is ongoing and is being led by Detective Bo Hubbard.
