Two young Warren County residents have been killed in a single-vehicle accident.

Tuesday afternoon at approximately 4:40, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office responded to the accident in the 1800 block of Hays Lodge Road, about five miles east of Smiths Grove.

Police said the preliminary investigation indicated that the driver, 20-year-old Aaron T. Wingfield, of Bowling Green, and his passenger 23-year-old Krista Vincent, of Smiths Grove, were traveling south on Hays Lodge Road in a 2001 Ford Taurus when Wingfield lost control of the vehicle as he approached the top of a hill. While attempting to regain control of the Ford, Wingfield over-corrected causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and strike a tree.

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
