The former Grayson County constable and recently sworn Grayson County Sheriff’s Office special deputy has succumbed to injuries suffered during a two-vehicle accident on Clarkson.
The morning of Thursday, April 29, 57-year-old Michael Lindsey, of Leitchfield, was traveling west in the 3600 block of Elizabethtown Road in a 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 when a Pontiac Vibe, being driven by 49-year-old Chase Michaels, of Falls of Rough, crossed the center, striking Lindsey’s vehicle, ripping off the back, driver’s side tires.
The truck rolled at least once, tossing Lindsey from the vehicle.
He was transported by EMS to Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center before being taken by EMS to University of Louisville Hospital (he would have been airlifted to UofL but medical helicopter services declined to fly due to weather conditions).
Lindsey, who suffered massive head injuries, died Saturday morning at University of Louisville Hospital.
A former constable, Lindsey had only recently been sworn-in as a special deputy with the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office and also owned local businesses.
Kentucky State Police Detective/Accident reconstructionist Bryan Washer investigated the collision.
