A Lyon County man was killed and several other people were injured in an accident Friday afternoon in Caldwell County.
Kentucky State Police investigated and determined 31-year old Michael Wright of Princeton was eastbound on US 62 west of Princeton when he encountered a line of slow-moving traffic ahead.
A news release says Wright rear-ended a car driven by 59-year old Carl Miner of Kuttawa, causing it to enter westbound traffic and collide head-on with a pickup driven by 31-year old Brandon Downs of Princeton.
Miner was pronounced dead at the scene and his passenger, 20-year old Christian Slayton of Dawson Springs, was flown to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville.
Wright and his passenger, Tiffani Wright, were taken to Caldwell County Medical Center.
Downs was transported to Baptist Health Hospital in Madisonville for treatment of injuries.
