A three-vehicle wreck Monday afternoon on North Dixie Avenue in Elizabethtown sent one man to Hardin Memorial Hospital with possible life-threatening injuries.

At 2:26 p.m., Elizabethtown Police Department received a call regarding a wreck near the 1100 block of Dixie near Peddlers Mall.

A woman driving a white Acura was traveling northbound on Dixie  Avenue when she failed to stop, said Virgil Willoughby, EPD public information officer.

Her car simultaneously struck the two motorcycles which were stopped at a red light, Willoughby said.

The Louisville man charged with murder and driving under the influence was arraigned in Hardin District Court Monday morning.

Arturo Rodriguez Martinez, 22, was arrested Friday night following a single-car wreck on Interstate 65 near the 86-mile marker that resulted in the death of his 2-year-old daughter, Sidolena Martinez. She was not in a child restraint at the time of the accident, police say.

For one Delta company cadet, the ROTC Leader's Training Course on Fort Knox was Plan B.

Tanvir Kalam, a student at Binghamton University, only returned to the school in upstate New York after he was forced from Cairo, Egypt, a semester early in February when the uprising began. He was studying abroad at the American University of Cairo, looking to learn Arabic. If he had not been forced to return, he might have not attended LTC.

Three things this week.

First: Elizabethtown native Philip Arnold believed in the business axiom: You’ve got to spend money to make money.

So, 140 years ago this month he and cousin John Slack traveled to England to buy $20,000 worth of uncut diamonds and rubies.

During the trip, Arnold went by the name Aundel, and Slack by Burcham. They were, needless to say, up to no good.
