Driver sent to hospital after overcorrecting, flipping car

MCCRACKEN COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The McCracken County Sheriff's Department says deputies were sent to the 2200 block of Oaks Road on Monday, Feb. 20 after a driver over-corrected and the car flipped.

When deputies arrived, they say they found that Missy Sisson, 35, of Calvert City was driving her 2004 Chevy SUV on Oaks Road. Deputies say Sisson briefly ran off the road and tried to correct. According to deputies, she over-corrected and lost control of the SUV.

They say the SUV then flipped to its side and slid to the side of the road into a ditch. Sisson was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for apparent minor injuries.

The sheriff's department says the road was closed for about 30 minutes while cleanup crews cleared the area.

Deputies were assisted at the scene by Mercy Regional Ambulance Service and the Reidland Fire Department.

Summer Camp Fair to provide information for parents on kid activities

PADUCAH, KY (KFVS) - The West Kentucky Community and Technical College is sponsoring an event to help parents find summer camps and activities for their kids.

The college partnered with Purchase Parenting and Family Magazine and the Challenge Learning Center at Paducah to create the 2012 Summer Camp and Activities Fair.

The fair will be on Feb. 25 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

“It may be cold outside, but we know that right now is the time to start thinking about the warmer months and parents may not realize how many summer options there are for children in the Paducah area,” said Kevin O’Neill, WKCTC continuing education coordinator.

At the fair, camp and activity directors will have the opportunity to talk with parents about the programs and facilities their camp or activity offers. Parents will receive pamphlets and informational materials to take home.

The fair is open to the public; admission is free.
