Reports said a car driven by Harold Franklin Keller, 60, was traveling east on the Glasgow Road and signaled for a left turn at the crossroads.
The car driven by PAXTON following behind attempted to pass the car ahead, struck the left rear and glanced off. PAXTON's vehicle then ran into the ditch and hit a tree head-on.
The PAXTON car was described as a total loss and there was damage to the left rear and side of the Keller vehicle.
The accident was investigated by officers from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.
