A Cave City man has been killed after side-swiping a tractor on Glasgow Road.

Friday night at approximately 6:30, the Warren County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle accident in the 10900 block of Glasgow Road. Upon deputies arriving on scene, authorities found that a westbound SUV, being driven by 49-year-old Chavez Reed, of Cave City, side-swiped a westbound tractor, being operated by 38-year-old Joshua Test, of Smiths Grove.

The collision caused the SUV to leave the roadway, overturn and hit a tree and fence, according to police. Reed, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene by the Warren County Coroner’s Office.

The SUV’s other occupant, 37-year-old Angela Hatcher, of Horse Cave, was airlifted from the scene to an unknown hospital. Test, who police said suffered only minor injuries, was also transported to a hospital.
