Police have released the names of two people that were severely injured in a wreck on East 9th Street at the intersection of Woodmill Road in Hopkinsville Wednesday afternoon.

Hopkinsville Police say a truck driven by 48-year-old Lance Johnson Jr. of Clarksville was driving on the wrong side of the road when it collided head-on with a second truck driven by 76-year-old Angel Maros of Trenton.

Both drivers were taken to Jennie Stuart Health by ambulance with Johnson being taken to a waiting helicopter that transferred him to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville.

The crash happened just before 1 pm.
