A vehicle crashed through a wall of the Bank of Jamestown’s East 80 branch at Fairview Monday morning.
The crash occurred at approximately 7:13 a.m. The driver, 26-year-old Hailey Hatter of Russell Springs, who was the vehicle’s only occupant, was transported to Russell County Hospital for treatment of her injuries.
The bank sustained extensive damage.
The Russell County Sheriff’s Department, Russell County EMS and the Eli Fire Department responded to the scene.
RCSO Sgt. Nathan Bradshaw told WJRS NEWS Hatter was operating a 2020 Chevy Traverse, eastbound on KY 80, when she lost control of her vehicle, nearly struck a westbound vehicle, then left the roadway, traveled through a grassy area, across a section of the bank’s parking lot, then crashed into the building.
Hatter was cited to appear in Russell District Court for alleged reckless driving, wanton endangerment and criminal mischief
