One person was killed and two were severely injured in a head-on collision Friday afternoon on US 62 in Lyon County.
The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office investigated and says 48-year old Billy Colley of Mayfield was westbound near Hopewell Road about 2:30 p.m. when he crossed into the eastbound lane and struck a vehicle operated by 76-year old Elizabeth Aldridge of Kuttawa.
Colley was taken first to a Paducah hospital and then to a hospital in Nashville. Aldridge was flown to an Evansville hospital and her passenger—81-year old Thomas Aldridge of Kuttawa—was pronounced dead at the scene.
Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.
