A driver lost their life Thursday afternoon after an SUV veered off the road and collided with a tree in Woodford County.
Police in Versailles responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash on Old Frankfort Pike around 2:45 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found a small SUV that had left the roadway and struck a tree. The driver, who was the only person in the vehicle, was taken by Woodford County EMS to the University of Kentucky Hospital, where they were later pronounced dead.
Authorities have not released the victim’s name as the coroner’s office works to notify family members. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
