Iconic performer Dolly Parton was injured along with two others in a Nashville car accident on October 21. Parton, 67, was a passenger in an SUV driven by Judy Ogle, 68, that was traveling eastbound on Kirkwood Avenue when a car driven by Diane Lish, 64, pulled into the intersection and collided with the SUV. According to authorities, the initial investigation shows that Lish failed to yield.
Parton and Ogle were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for injuries. Lish was taken to Centennial Medical Center, also for injuries sustained in the accident. All parties, at the time of this report, were expected to make a full recovery.
