Corbin man charged after crash
A Corbin man was arrested Tuesday after it was determined he was drunk when he crashed his SUV along U.S. 25E Tuesday.
The crash happened about 10:30 a.m. as Johnny M. Lunsford, 53, drove a 1998 Toyota SUV west on the highway. He ran off the road near the highway’s intersection with American Greeting Road, then struck a guardrail and traveled down an embankment.
Lunsford was taken to St. Joseph London hospital for treatment of possible minor injuries. When he was released from the hospital later that day, he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (second offense), operating on a suspended license, having an open container of alcoholic beverages in the vehicle and no insurance. He was jailed in the Laurel County Correctional Center.
Deputy James Sizemore investigated. Assisting at the scene were Deputy Gilbert Acciardo and West Knox Volunteer Fire Department.
