Name of woman who died in 3-vehicle crash in Ky. is released. Four others injured.
One person is dead and four others have “serious injuries” after a crash Tuesday near Lily in Laurel County, according to the Laurel County sheriff’s office.
The crash happened around 10:45 a.m. on U.S. 25 about 6 miles south of London, according to Deputy Gilbert Acciardo from the sheriff’s office. It involved three vehicles, Acciardo said.
The sheriff’s office said a Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by Danielle M. Kelly, 36, of Corbin was southbound on U.S. 25 when it crossed into the northbound lane and sideswiped a northbound Ford van, then hit a Chevrolet Tahoe head-on.
“The vehicles came to rest blocking northbound U.S. 25,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post late Tuesday afternoon.
A passenger in the Trailblazer, Tiffany J. Smith, 44, of London, was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Hospital London soon after the collision, according to the sheriff’s office.
Kelly; a 1-year-old girl who was riding in the Trailblazer with her; the driver of the Tahoe, Shawn Pridemore, 31, of Corbin; and a passenger in the Tahoe, Jacolby Lawrence, 42, of Corbin, were all taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center with serious injuries, the sheriff’s office said.
The driver of the van, Cecil Price, 65, of Barbourville, was not injured, according to the sheriff’s office.
The road was closed until about 1:45 p.m., according to Acciardo.
