KENTUCKY — A driver was killed in a fiery single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning in Scott County, according to authorities.
Deputies with the Scott County Sheriff’s Office responded just after midnight on March 22 to a crash along Newtown Pike between U.S. 460 and Old Oxford Road.
Investigators said a northbound Infiniti left the roadway for unknown reasons, struck a tree and caught fire.
The Scott County Coroner’s Office pronounced the driver dead at the scene.
Authorities have not released the victim’s identity pending notification of next of kin.
Officials said many drivers have stopped in the area to pay their respects, and the property owner has provided a designated pull-off area for those wishing to do so safely.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
