Clay County Kentucky Crash Kills 2: Occupants Ejected

Ronnie G. Hacker of McKee and Elizabeth M. Denman of Big Creek were killed in a car accident after being ejected from their vehicles.

According to police, Hacker's pickup truck crossed the center line of Ky. 11 in Clay County and struck Denman's sedan head-on. While police say the occupants were ejected because they didn't wear their seatbelts, that may just be speculation by the police.

Police said alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash.

Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones attorney, says "This is a real tragedy. Crossover wrecks like this are usually tragic. However, when alcohol is added to the mix, it makes an unfortunate situation even sadder. I hope the drunk driver is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
