WASHINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — One person is dead and another has been injured after a wreck that occurred in Bullitt County on Wednesday.
A call for assistance on a crash on US 31E from the Bullitt County 911 dispatch came through at around 8 p.m. An investigation determined that a Jeep Grand Cherokee being driven by 47-year-old Jason Durbin from Bardstown was traveling south on 31E when, for unknown reasons, it crossed the center line and hit a Chevrolet Cavalier that was going north head-on.
