Russell Springs, KY man dies of injuries in KY 55 accident

Deceased driver lost control of vehicle on slipper surface. Three vehicles involved. All three drivers taken to Taylor Regional Hospital, where Steve Smith, 29, of Russell Springs, KY, was pronounced deceased as a result of injuries suffered in the crash

A Russell Springs, KY, driver, Steve Smith, 29, was pronounced deceased at the Taylor Regional Hospital this morning after being transported there from an accident on the New Columbia Road/KY 55 in Taylor County, KY, just north of Coburg in Adair County, approximately 9 miles south of Campbellsville, KY, 8 miles north of Columbia.



The accident occurred at approximately 6:16amET/5:16amCT, Tuesday, November 15, 2011.

The Taylor County Sheriff's Office reports that, according to witness statements, Smith was traveling south in a 2003 Chevy Impala, on KY 55 and lost control, the result of slippery road conditions, it is believed, and, began to spin. The vehicle crossed the centerline, colliding with a 1963 Ford Galaxy driven by Robbie Anderson, 23, Palestine Road, Campbellsville, KY.

A third vehicle, driven by Whitney Judd, then struck Anderson in the back of his vehicle.

All three drivers were transported to Taylor Regional Hospital. Anderson and Judd were treated for what appears to be non-life threatening injuries.

The accident was investigated by the Taylor County Sheriff's Office. Deputy Mark Dickens was the investigating officer.
