WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Two four-door sedans collided head-on early Saturday morning on HWY 150 on the edge of Washington County killing one of the male drivers.
The second driver, Mercer County Varsity Girls' Soccer Coach Josh Culver, was trapped in his car and later helicoptered to a local hospital.
Mercer County Schools Athletic Director Donald Smith told LEX 18 Culver was on his way to a game for his team in Montgomery County when the crash happened.
