An Elizabethtown teenager has been killed in an accident on I-65 in Hart County.
On Sunday morning at approximately 11:30, Kentucky State Police responded to the 55 mile marker of southbound I-65 on the report of a two-vehicle accident.
The preliminary investigation indicated that 18-year-old Kimberly Linder, of Elizabethtown, was driving a 2012 Toyota Camry south on the interstate when the Camry exited the roadway and struck a guardrail. Upon striking the guardrail, the vehicle re-entered the roadway and traveled into the path of a 2016 International semi-truck, being driven south by 22-year-old Christopher Ross, of Brownstown, Indiana. The semi struck the Camry on its passenger side.
Linder was transported to The Medical Center at Caverna where she was pronounced dead. Ross was not injured.
