Additional details have been released on a fiery, single-vehicle fatality accident that happened Monday morning on KY 181 in northern Todd County.
It happened shortly before 6 a.m. about a mile north of Highland Lick Road, according to Kentucky State Police, who say the car had been headed south when it left the shoulder of the southbound lane.
The vehicle traveled down an embankment, struck a tree and caught fire.
The driver, who was lone occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene by Todd County Coroner Timothy Wells. The victim’s name has not been released, with an autopsy scheduled for Tuesday morning.
The Todd County Sheriff’s Department, Elkton Police Department, Todd County Rescue Squad, and EMS assisted at the scene—in addition to firefighters from Elkton, Sharon Grove, Clifty and Allegre.
