A woman has been killed after a truck drove through the front window of the Shell station on South Main Street in Leitchfield.
Friday afternoon at 5:35, the Leitchfield Police and Fire Departments, Grayson County Sheriff’s Office and EMS responded to the Shell station at 715 South Main Street after a Chevrolet S10, being driven by 59-year-old Garry Jaeggers, of Mammoth Cave, drove through the front window of the business, striking and killing 54-year-old Brenda L. Brown, of Ashland.
According to Deputy Grayson County Coroner Larry Holeman, Brown had been picked up by her boyfriend, who lives in Beaver Dam, and was being taken to Ohio County to meet her boyfriend’s parents. She went into Shell to buy a pack of gum, Holeman said, when the truck crashed through the front of the store.
Holeman pronounced Brown dead at the scene.
No charges have been filed. Jaeggers was transported to Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center for a blood draw, which is Leitchfield Police Department standard operating procedure in cases such as this.
The investigation is ongoing.
Responding Leitchfield police units were Sgt. Robert Jackson and Officers Adam Cottrell, Chase Melton, and Kelsey Overton. Grayson County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Fred Norder assisted at the scene.
