One person is dead following a collision in Bullitt County Saturday.
According to Kentucky State Police Post Four, a two-vehicle collision occurred at approximately 7:34 p.m. on February 28 at the intersection of KY 44 East and Watergate Drive near Mount Washington.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates a pickup truck driven by a juvenile was travelling west on KY 44 East “when for unknown reasons, the passenger-side tires dropped off the right side of the roadway onto a steep shoulder.” The driver overcorrected, and the vehicle crossed the centerline into the eastbound lane and into the path of an eastbound vehicle operated by 27-year-old Sarah Weisman of Shepherdsville. The pickup truck struck Weisman’s vehicle head-on, causing the vehicle to travel down a small embankment and overturn onto its roof.
Weisman was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner’s Office. The driver of the pick-up was not injured in the incident.
The Shepherdsville and Mount Washington fire departments, along with Bullitt County EMS, assisted at the scene. The KSP’s investigation of the collision is ongoing.
