A woman has died and two children were among three seriously injured in car accident Friday on Long Like Pike, according to the Scott County Sheriff’s Office and a media report.
According to the office, two vehicles collided head-on in a curve between Glass Pike and Loyd Road at approximately 8 a.m.
All of the injured were taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, according to the sheriff.
Kristen Charron, 28, later died, according to WKYT, the Herald-Leader’s reporting partner. One of the two 9-year-old children is in critical condition.
