All Wednesday accident victims identified

All victims have been identified in a two-vehicle accident that happened at dusk Wednesday near Moore Hill on U.S. 60 West.

The wreck involved off-duty Livingston County Sheriff Bobby Davidson.

Five people were injured in the crash that occurred around 5 p.m. near Moore Hill in Crittenden County just west of Ky. 297.

According to Crittenden County Sheriff’s Deputy Chuck Hoover, Katrina Lynch, 37, of Salem was westbound in a white 2008 Chevrolet Impala when she swerved to miss a deer in the roadway. She then reportedly lost control of the vehicle and veered into the path of an eastbound 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Davidson, 46, of Salem.

Crittenden County Rescue Squad was called to extricate one of the victims.

Lynch and her daughter, Makenzie, 11, were taken by ambulance to Livingston Hospital and Healthcare Services, as were Davidson and his passenger, Jackie Teems, 30. Lynch's son, Kaden, 13, was taken from the scene by air ambulance to an Evansville-area hospital, where he remained in critical condition Thursday morning.

Crittenden County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the collision. Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, Kentucky State Police, Crittenden County constables, Crittenden County EMS, Livingston County EMS, Lyon County EMS, Caldwell County EMS, Air Evac Lifeteam, PHI Air Medical, Crittenden County Rescue Squad, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Salem Fire Department and several first responders assisted on scene.
