Five injured in accident on Corbin Bypass
Posted On 22 Oct 2009
A Barbourville woman has been charged with DUI and assault by state police after they say she caused a three-vehicle accident on the Corbin Bypass Wednesday that injured five people, one seriously.
According to Kentucky State Police, 24-year-old Heather Morgan was drunk when she crossed the centerline on the Corbin Bypass at about 2:30 p.m. and slammed into another vehicle, driven by Jessica Robbins. The crash caused Robbins’ vehicle to carreen into a truck owned by the Holston Gas Company that was hauling tanks of liquid nitrogen and acetelyne.
Robbins was seriously injured when she was ejected from her vehicle and struck a nearby guardrail. She had to be airlifted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center In Lexington where she was listed in fair condition Wednesday. Morgan and the passengers in her vehicle were all treated at Baptist Regional Medical Center and released. The drive of the truck did not suffer any injuries.
Morgan was arrested and charged with DUI, first-degree assault and for driving on a suspended license. She also faces charges of failing to use a booster seat property and for not using a child-restraint device in her vehicle. She was lodged in the Knox County Detention Center.
The Corbin Bypass was reopened after being closed for about four hours while crews cleaned up chemicals that had leaked from the tanks, and while Kentucky State Police and Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement officers reconstructed the scene.

Very nice site!
Great article post.Really thank you! Fantastic. cdaaeefeeeeagead
She’s another day disgusting white piece of **** that should of died
Wow, isn’t this the same girl thats the girlfriend of Jimmy Rose, the guy that was on Americas got Talent? No wonder she only has her name listed as Heather Renea on facebook. Don’t want this to get out and tarnish the sweetheart image she’s got going. Everybody makes mistakes and anybody can try to become a better person, change their life for the better but the comment she made on the post really sounded like she had no remorse for what happened and wasn’t even going to accept any blame in the accident. Even if the other girl was high, Heather had her kids in the car with her while driving under the influence of SOMETHING. Also, why wasn’t she charged with endangering the welfare of a minor?

ppl should know by now that drinking and driving don’t mix.
I find it hard to believe that this was an accident…the girl that hit my Jessica…Heather Morgan is the sister to Jessica Cornett…she has been threatening my family over the internet for over a week…I have talked to the state police about this and am expecting a call back…
Jessica will make it…..in a lot of pain….I all ready found out last nite that the woman who hit her was ranting and raving at brmc….she has no remorse what so ever as to what she has done…and the ramifications of what this will do to Jessica and her children….and little does Heather Morgan care…….rot in jail Heather that is where you belong….and her family will make sure you spend as much time there as possible…..then we will come for you for payment of medical bills….lost time at work…pain and suffering….jessica’s vehicle……trust me were not the kind to give up…..
Driving drunk with kids in car and no license! You have got to be kidding!
