KSP: Collision shuts down Highway 160 in Harlan

HARLAN, Ky. (WTVQ)- State police say a collision Monday afternoon shut down part of Highway 160 in Harlan.

Troopers say Jennifer Young of Cumberland was headed south and had just exited a steep curve when she saw another vehicle in her same lane, backing toward her. State police say Young tried to avoid a collision by turning onto a steep driveway. But investigators say one of her tires dropped off the driveway and the car flipped.

Both victims went to Harlan Appalachian Regional Hospital, according to state police.
