On Thursday, February 9th, 2023 at approximately 5:43 P.M. EST, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers responded to a two-vehicle injury collision at the intersection of US 68 and West Main Street in Campbellsville.
The preliminary investigation revealed that Steve Hovious, age 58 of Campbellsville, was traveling east on US 68 in a 2000 Honda Accord when he failed to stop at a traffic control light. Mr. Hovious then collided with a 2018 Ford Explorer that was attempting to turn to travel west on US 68. The Ford Explorer was being operated by Courtney Gumm, age 32 of Nancy. Mr. Hovious was transported to Taylor Regional Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased by the Taylor County Coroner.

Upon Deputies arrival, a preliminary investigation determined that Cheri Shepherd, 58, of Jamestown, was traveling South in a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, while Arlis Kearns, 81, of Columbia, was traveling East on Old Glens Fork Road. Kearns stopped at the intersection of Kentucky Highway 55 South and Old Glens Fork Road, attempted to make a left hand turn and traveled into the path of Shepherd. The collision caused Shepherd’s vehicle to flip numerous times, before coming to rest upright. Kearns was treated and released on scene. Shepherd was transported by Adair County EMS to T.J. Health Columbia for her injuries. Deputy Derek Padgett is the investigating officer and was assisted on scene by Adair County Sheriff Josh Brockman, Deputy Jason Camfield, Adair County EMS, and the Adair County Fire Department. (Sheriff Josh Brockman – Adair County Sheriff’s Office) I would like to bring to your attention an issue we deal with daily. If you would like to write an article about how the citizens of Adair County’s tax dollars are being wasted and to help bring attention to this matter and hopefully get the public involved in stopping some of this road sign theft and littering I would greatly appreciate it.
This week alone the Adair County Road Dept. has put up 16 road signs that has been stolen. Two of the 16 they just replaced last week due to theft. These signs cost approximately $100 each to replace so that is $1,600.00 alone in one week that is coming from the road fund that could be going to do repairs to roadways within Adair County. Not only is this theft costing the citizens tax dollars but it could cost someone their life since emergency services have been dispatched and the road signs are gone to direct them where they need to go. I ordered some really nice litter abatement signs with the state litter abatement grant money we get to help educate and bring attention to the littering issues within the county and in less than one day 3 of them had already been knocked down or stolen. We are asking the public if they see someone stealing a sign and only if it is safe to do so take a picture of them along with their vehicle and license plate if possible and email them to the Adair County Judge Executive’s office at cje.acjudge@adaircountyky.com. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I think most of the citizens of Adair County are sick of these actions and it is time we start taking more pride in our community and putting a stop to some of the theft and littering.
