A woman was killed in an accident over the weekend in Graves County.
The Graves County Sheriff’s Office investigated and determined 26-year old Melissa Penn of Hickory was northbound on KY 1241 in an SUV when she traveled through the intersection with KY 408 and rear-ended a fertilizer truck driven by 77-year old Joe Cherry of Hazel who had just made a right turn onto the roadway.
Penn was flown to a Nashville hospital with serious injuries and her passenger, 29-year old Deondra Jackson of Hickory, was pronounced dead from her injuries at Jackson Purchase Medical Center.
Cherry was not injured in the crash.
