KENTUCKY — A 93-year-old man was killed following a two-vehicle crash Saturday evening in Knox County, according to Kentucky State Police.
Troopers said they were dispatched at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20, to a collision on U.S. 25-E. A preliminary investigation determined that a tractor-trailer crossed the southbound lane of travel and stopped in the median while attempting to merge into the northbound lane.
Authorities said the driver’s side of the trailer remained blocking the southbound lane, where it was struck by a Toyota Prius.
The driver of the Prius, Crit Moses, 93, was transported by Knox County EMS and later airlifted to University of Kentucky Hospital with critical injuries. Officials said Moses later died from injuries sustained in the crash and was pronounced dead by the Fayette County Coroner’s Office.
Kentucky State Police said the crash remains under investigation.
