DATE:     October 12, 2009
LOCATION:     KY 76, North of Eli
TYPE:     Single car accident claims the life of Travis Popplewell and seriously injures Brently Frost.

According to reports at about 10:45 on Monday morning a Ford Focus driven by 17 year old Brently Frost lost control and hit a tree.  The car was traveling on KY 76 and entered a curve in the road, it was then Mr. Frost lost control of the vehicle.  The car then ran off the road and hit a tree.

Mr. Frost was airlifted to UK Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.  His condition has not been reported at this time.  His passenger, 17-year-old Travis Popplewell was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.  Reports also indicate that neither of the victims was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

There are few things more devastating to a family than losing a young member.  As a accident attorney in Louisville, Kentucky I have witnessed the grief fatal accident survivors must endure and it is heartbreaking.  My thoughts go out to the family of Mr. Popplewell and hope for a complete and quick recovery for Mr. Frost.
