A single car crash in Laurel County resulted in three people being flown to UK Thursday.
The driver, a 28-year-old, has been charged with a DUI charge and it is not his first, or his second.
Anthony Allen has been in jail 16 times in his 28 years.
He was 13 when he had his first run in with the law, he was found guilty on operating a moped while under the influence.

Since 2006 Allen has been charged with several more DUIs, Leaving the Scene of an Accident more than once and criminal mischief.
Allen has a total of 63 charges so far and nine more were added Thursday night.
“We cited him or charged him with DUI third offense, this is the third time we will be making a presentation in front of the grand jury on this particular case that will, we hope will raise it up to a felony,” said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel County Sheriff department.
Police say Allen was on meth when his white Ford Ranger went off the road and flipped at least once before landing right side up. Allen and his two female passengers were injured and flown to UK for treatment.
Allen was arrested in July for a DUI charge so Thursday night’s wreck meant that he was driving on a suspended license.
“We actually have him operating on DUI suspended license as well second offense that means he has been caught out once previously operating on a DUI suspended license and here it is a second occasion,” said Acciardo.
Barbara Merida is a friend of Allen’s family. She says that Allen has a drug problem and has been in and out of rehab and jail.
“There have been a couple of times he has come to my house all drugged up,” said Merida. “Yeah, he is out runnin’ around still drivin’, still pilled up today.”
She said that Allen left the hospital and was out driving Friday.
