A two-vehicle crash this morning on U.S. 641 near the Crittenden-Caldwell County line left a Marion woman slightly injured.

According to Kentucky State Police, Amanda Winters, 20, sustained minor injuries in a wreck just before 7 a.m., when her southbound 2009 Dodge Caliber was side-swiped by an oncoming vehicle attempting to pass another. Though Winters appeared to have a slight head injury, she was not transported for treatment.

Police say Winters' vehicle was hit by a 1992 Toyota pickup driven by Sebastian Hughes, 18, of Fredonia as he was attempting to pass a car in front of him. Both vehicles exited the roadway and came to a rest in a ditch. Hughes was not injured.

Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts.
