MEADE COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Two women, a 14-year-old, and a 12-year-old have all died after a collision in Meade County.

Kentucky State Police says according to preliminary investigation, the driver of a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox, identified as Synthia Armstrong, 52, of Brandenburg, was going south on US 31W shortly before 6:00 p.m. Tuesday. That's when police say the vehicle crossed the center line and into a 2003 Cadillac CTS driven by Christina Diaz, 44, of Louisville.
