Pendleton County Ky. Prosecutor Killed by Tractor Trailer

Here is a tragic story about a fellow attorney killed in a crossover wreck.

A wreck in Butler, Kentucky, has claimed the life of a state prosecutor.

Commonwealth's Attorney Doug Wright was killed when his car was hit by a tractor trailer near the Pendleton-Campbell County line.

Police said the driver of the truck crossed the center line and struck Wright's car. The truck driver was taken to a hospital.

Wright's wife and two children live in Pendleton County.

It is truly amazing how many lives are lost each year in crossover wrecks, both on two-lane roads and on highways. Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones personal injury and wrongful death attorney Larry Jones is so concerned about crossover deaths that he has assisted surviving family members of other crashes in their successful efforts to lobby the state of Kentucky for cable median barriers --which definitely save lives.
