The Kentucky State Police is investigating a fatal collision that occurred in Nelson County Monday.
According to KSP Post Four, at around 3 p.m. on July 14 Nelson County Dispatch requested troopers investigate a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Boston Road and Bennett Lane.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates that 77-year-old Laura Gilpin of Bardstown was operating a westbound vehicle on Boston Road when for unknown reasons the vehicle crossed the center line. Gilpin’s vehicle then struck an eastbound vehicle.
Gilpin was transported to Flaget Memorial Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The driver of the eastbound vehicle and a juvenile passenger were transported to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment on non-life-threatening injuries.
Boston Road was closed for several hours in the area of the crash to allow for accident reconstruction. The investigation of the collision remains ongoing.
