Woolard said he could not stop and hit the Ford in the side.
The people from the Ford were transported to Shelby Memorial Hospital by Shelby Ambulance. Beside the driver there were two passengers in Ray’s vehicle. They were Heath Ray, 37, also of Sullivan, and a juvenile, 10 years old, in the back seat. Woolard was transported to Shelby Memorial in a private vehicle, by his mother.
