Heavy rain is suspected as a factor in a head-on collision Tuesday night on I-24 in Lyon County that killed two people.
Kentucky State Police investigated and determined 35-year old Amanda McAmis of Wentzville, Missouri had been westbound about 6 p.m. near the 49 mile-marker when her vehicle crossed the median and collided head-on with a tractor-trailer operated by 66-year old David Royer of Galena, Missouri.
McAmis was ejected and she and her passenger, 79-year old Sondra McAmis of Wentzville, were both pronounced dead at the scene. A juvenile passenger in their vehicle was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to an out-of-state facility.
Royer was not injured in the crash.
