Kentucky State Police are investigating a fatal collision in Calloway County that claimed the life of a Hopkins County man.
According to a news release, troopers responded to a two-vehicle collision in KY-121 North at the intersection of Rob Mason Road around 8 p.m. Wednesday night. Investigation determined that 21-year-old Huskey Hutch of Paducah was traveling northbound on KY-121 while a vehicle pulling a trailer that reportedly did not have lights was traveling in the same lane.
In attempt to avoid rear-ending the trailer, Hutch swerved into the southbound lane, colliding head-on with a pickup truck operated by 29-year-old Colby Traylor of Calvert City. A passenger in the vehicle, 57-year-old Timothy Traylor of Madisonville, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Calloway County Coroner.
Colby Traylor and Hutch were transported to local hospitals for treatment of injuries.
