BEAVER DAM, Ky. (LEX 18) — A 17-year-old is dead following a two-vehicle crash that occurred early Wednesday on US 62 in Ohio County, just west of Beaver Dam, according to the Kentucky State Police.
KSP says they received a call regarding the crash at 12:20 a.m., and a preliminary investigation revealed that the teen from McHenry was driving east on US 62 in a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu, crossed the centerline, and hit a 2008 Dodge Ram being driven by a woman from Beaver Dam who was driving west.
The teen was pronounced dead at the scene, and the driver of the Ram was taken to a hospital in Owenboro for treatment of reported non-life-threatening injuries, KSP states.
The release adds, "It's unknow at this time if all participants were wearing their seatbelts; however, KSP troopers are currently reconstructing the collision."
