The Kentucky State Police is investigating after a pedestrian was killed in Nelson County Monday.
Troopers from KSP Post Four responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision involving a pedestrian at approximately 10:45 p.m. July 8.
Troopers arrived at the scene of the accident, located near the 4,000 block of Louisville Road just north of Bardstown. The KSP says the preliminary investigation shows a vehicle being operated by Langleigh Winters of Bardstown was traveling north on Louisville Road when she failed to observe a pedestrian walking in the northbound lane and struck him with the vehicle.
The pedestrian was later identified as 23-year-old Matt Berry of Bardstown. Berry was pronounced dead at the scene by the Nelson County Coroner’s Office. Winters reported no injuries from the incident.
The area of the accident on Louisville Road was shut down for several hours as troopers performed accident reconstruction. The KSP says the investigation into the accident remains ongoing.
