MADISONVILLE, Ky. (WEVV) — A crash that happened on Thursday in Madisonville led to one arrest after police say a driver admitted to smoking marijuana before the wreck happened.
Around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, officers say they responded to a crash in the area of West Noel Avenue and Hopewell Street in Madisonville.
Police say 26-year-old Brooke Murphy was involved in the wreck but didn’t need any medical attention, but that the other driver had to go to the ER for a broken wrist.
While investigating the wreck, police say they suspected Murphy was under the influence. They say she smelled like marijuana, and that the smell of marijuana was coming from her car.
