Ohio County Sheriff Adam Wright said the accident occurred Saturday night at approximately 6:00 in the 7000 block of Hwy 231 near Cromwell when a vehicle containing eight people crashed into another car containing one person.
Three people were airlifted to University of Louisville Hospital, while two victims were transported to UofL Hospital by ambulance. All were critically injured, Wright told WFIE.com. At least four victims remain in critical condition.
The driver of the car that was struck was transported to Ohio County Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
