Deadly Crossover Accident Takes the Life of Demond Board-Louisville, Kentucky Wrongful Death Attorney

LOCATION:     Spencer County Kentucky
DATE:     July 24, 2009
TYPE:     Crossover accident in Spencer County, Kentucky kills one and injures five.

Kentucky State Police are investigating a deadly accident that occurred on Friday, July 24 in Spencer County Kentucky.  The accident happened on KY 55 when 34-year-old Demond Board travelling north crossed the median.

When Board crossed the median he struck a Chevy Suburban head on.  Board was pronounced dead at the scene by the Spencer County coroner.

The driver of the Suburban, 46-year-old Gerry Boston, and another adult female passenger were transported to University Hospital in Louisville for treatment of their injuries.  Three other passengers, all children, were transported to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville for treatment of their injuries.

Crossover accidents unfortunately happen with great frequency.  When driving on a road without cable barriers or anything else that could prevent the crossover be aware that another car can crossover.  Be aware and prepared to avoid a potentially fatal accident. 

We at the Schafer Law Office send our sympathies to Mr. Board’s family and hope for a speedy and full recovery of the other injured in the crash.
