Kentucky State Police says that one man has been arrested after he got into a car crash and then allegedly shot the other driver in Adair County on Saturday morning.
According to a release from the KSP, at around 7:55 a.m., 50-year-old Gregory Willis from Columbia and 46-year-old Mark Hatcher from Columbia got into a car accident on KY 704. After the crash, Willis reportedly shot Hatcher.

A passenger in Hatcher's car, 23-year-old William Freese from Columbia, was also injured during the crash.
