One person was killed and three juveniles were injured in an accident in Hart County Saturday.
The Kentucky State Police says at just before 7 p.m. on November 9 troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash on the 3,700 block of Priceville Road in Hart County.
The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates that a vehicle driven by 24-year-old Mikhaela Kostas of Versailles was traveling east on Priceville Road when Kostas attempted to pass other eastbound vehicles. Her car then collided with a westbound truck driven by a juvenile driver.
Kostas was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hart County Coroner’s Office. The juvenile driver and two juvenile passengers were transported to Baptist Health Hardin for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
The KSP’s investigation of the crash is ongoing.
Several area churches and Helping Hand of Hope are partnering to offer families in need a Thanksgiving dinner.
“It is provided to individuals and families who are unable to have a meal on their own,” said event coordinator Cheri Ellis-Reeves. “It’s at no cost to them, and if they’re in Hardin County we will deliver except to West Point. They do have to make a reservation through Helping Hand of Hope. The cutoff date is Friday the 22nd.”
The dinner will be hosted on Thanksgiving Day at Saint James Catholic School.
“If they want to come to Saint James School on Robinbrooke Boulevard, they’re able to pick it up there and carry it out, or they can dine in there,” Ellis-Reeves said. “If they dine in, it is from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.”
Food donations for the dinner are being accepted, or you can volunteer your time.
“We can’t do it without a lot of volunteers,” Ellis-Reeves said. “We do need volunteers to help deliver meals, help serve meals. At this point, we still need some volunteers.”
Contact Ellis-Reeves at Clark Jewelers or contact Helping Hand of Hope for more information.
Hardin County Schools is looking to hear from all district alumni from the Class of 1990 and earlier as the district plans a possible reunion event.
“As one can imagine, that could turn into somewhat of a monumental task, but this is something that has never happened before, so we are asking for help from alumni for this event to be successful,” said Hardin County Schools Community Relations Specialist John Wright. “We are planning this by working with those who already coordinate their individual class reunions. We’re seeking individuals who coordinate individual class reunions for their graduating class, or maybe who coordinate multi-year reunions for a high school that maybe no longer exists.”
A contact form for alumni willing to participate in planning the reunion event is available on the HCS website under the Alumni tab. Contact wright for more information.
