Wolff struck the left front end of Gibson’s vehicle. He and his three passengers, 41-year-old Sandra Wolff, 28-year-old Tiffany Hall and 50-year-old Donna Hall, had to be extricated from the vehicle by mechanical means.
They were all transported by Knox County EMS to the Knox County Hospital in Barbourville and treated for minor injuries.
Gibson, who is pregnant, was flown by AirEvac to University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington as a precautionary measure. She had non-life threatening injuries, according to the release.
