Fatal Accident on US 60 in Clark County

One driver is dead after two vehicles collided on US 60 in Clark County Wednesday afternoon.

James Church, 48, of Dayton, Ohio was pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner says Church just moved to Kentucky and was on his way home from his first day at work.

Church was driving a truck and collided with a sedan head on. “There was a witness that stated that the truck lost control for some reason,” said Trooper Kenny Sandusky, Kentucky State Police.

The driver of the sedan was rushed to UK Hospital. The driver’s condition is unknown.

Officials say weather may have had a role in the accident. “Stopping distance is not the same, it takes longer to stop because the wheels will slide on the wet pavement, so slowing down is very important, especially when it rains,” said Trooper Sandusky.

The accident remains under investigation.
