A Russell County teenager was airlifted to the U.K. Medical Center in Lexington, KY on Sunday morning following a collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck.

The crash occurred just after 9:00 a.m. at the intersection of Kentucky 379 (Hales Highway), French Valley Road, and Blair School Road, approximately three miles south of Russell Springs.

According to Russell County Deputy Sheriff Nathan Bradshaw, 18-year-old Nathan White of Russell Springs was traveling west on French Valley Road operating a 2024 Kawasaki motorcycle. White brought his vehicle to a stop at the intersection stop sign before attempting to cross Hales Highway onto Blair School Road. As he entered the intersection, White struck a southbound Ford F-150 driven by 63-year-old David Mann of Liberty.

EMS personnel treated Nathan White at the scene before transporting him to the Russell County Airport. From there, he was flown by emergency helicopter to the U.K. Medical Center for further treatment of his injuries. The driver of the truck was not injuried.

The accident was investigated by the Russell County Sheriff's Office. The Russell Springs Fire Department assisted at the scene.
