LOCATION:     Madison County Kentucky

TYPE:     A pickup truck attempting to pass another vehicle in a no passing zone caused an accident resulting in the death of two passengers.

 Kentucky State Police have reported an accident on north Kentucky 627 in Madison County Kentucky that has caused the death of Martha Collins and Martha Gipson.  Ms. Collins was driving when she attempted to pass another vehicle in a no passing zone.  She hit a semi truck going in the opposite direction

As a result of the crash Ms. Gipson was ejected from the car and died at the scene.  Ms. Collins was trapped in the car and had to cut out.  She was transported to the hospital where she later died.  Ms.  Collins infant son was also in the vehicle and was trapped under the dashboard.  A witness held the dash off the child until help arrived and transported the infant to the hospital.  The baby has been treated for a broken ankle but is expected to recover.  The driver of the semi was not injured.

Our thoughts go out to the families of Ms. Collins and Ms. Gipson.  We also hope for a complete recovery of those injured.  We need to always remember to heed the signs prohibiting motorists from passing; they serve as a caution that passing is not safe on that part of the road.
