A Crestwood woman was injured Friday afternoon in a car crash in northwest Shelby County.

Lisa Brown, 54, was traveling westbound on Aiken Road, when she ran off the roadway and overturned her vehicle.

Simpsonville Assistant Fire Chief Ronnie Sowder said that Brown told him that she was trying to avoid a large truck that was coming toward her.

Alcohol/drugs are not suspected as a factor in the crash.

Firefighters extricated Brown from her car at about 2:30 p.m., he said. She was taken to  the University of Louisville Hospital.

 This year, for the first time, the award for the top police officer in the Shelbyville Police Department was presented not to just one person, but to two.

Shelbyville Police Department Sgt. Bruce W. Gentry was among law enforcement officers from 16 agencies across the commonwealth to be recognized recently at a graduation ceremony at Eastern Kentucky University.

The officers completed the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training Academy of Police Supervision in August.
