A Marshall County woman was killed in an accident Wednesday morning in McCracken County.
The McCracken County Sheriff’s Department investigated and determined 47-year old Augusta Holt of Benton had been westbound on Lebanon Church Road just before 9 a.m. when she attempted to cross Old US 45 and drove into the path of a southbound Freightliner single-axle truck driven by 22-year old Jarrett Hines of Boaz.
An off-duty deputy arrived within three minutes of the crash and helped free Holt from her vehicle and performed life-saving measures. She was transported to Lourdes Hospital, where she died from her injuries.
Hines was transported by EMS to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.
