Two Muhlenberg County women have been killed in a head-on collision.
Kentucky State Police said at approximately 10:20 Monday morning, troopers responded to Hwy 431 in South Carrollton, just north of Central City, on the report of a two-vehicle accident.
Police said the initial investigation showed that a 2012 Dodge Town and Country minivan, being driven by 48-year-old Thomas Simpson, of Central City, was traveling south on Hwy 431 when the vehicle crossed the center line and struck a northbound 2010 Nissan Sentra, being driven by 53-year-old Karen Leach, of Greenville.
Leach was pronounced dead at the scene by the Muhlenberg County Coroner’s Office, while her passenger, 79-year-old Linda Embry, of Greenville, was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died from her injuries Monday afternoon.
The investigation into the accident continues and is being led by Kentucky State Police.
