26 Year Old Dies in Georgetown, Kentucky Car Accident

There was another tragic car accident on Thursday -- this one in Lexington, Kentucky. The accident resulted in the death of a 26 year old Georgetown resident.

They young man, 26 year old Charles Garrett, was taken to University of Kentucky hospital where he was pronounced dead by UK medical staff at 2:31 p.m. Friday, according to a published report int the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The wreck happened near the intersection of Georgetown Road and Kearney Ridge Boulevard. The details are still sketchy, but early reports are that the car Garrett was in swerved to avoid a tractor-trailer and collided with a rock wall.

According to reports, another occupant of the vehicle was hospitalized with serious injuries. Police are saying that neither were wearing a seat belt, but this is often unreliable information, and an independent accident reconstruction should be conducted in any cases involving a fatality or serious injury.

It's too early to tell who was a fault for causing this accident.
