In an accident on Ky. 15 in Glomawr, Kentucky 59-year-old Lorene Dollarhide of Whitesburg and 52-year-old Billie Combs of Happy were both killed.  According to the authorities investigating the accident Ms. Dollarhide was traveling north on Ky. 15 when she crossed the center line into the southbound lane.  At this point she struck Ms. Combs vehicle.

Kentucky State Police detective Tim Engle was also traveling south on Ky. 15 when the crash occurred and was not able to avoid the collision.  His vehicle was also struck by Ms. Dollarhide’s car.  Detective Engle suffered minor injuries while both Ms. Dollarhide and Ms. Combs were pronounced dead at the scene.

Unfortunately crossover accident happen with great regularity and tragically these type of accidents can cause serious injuries as well as deaths.  My sympathies go to the families of those killed in this accident.
