A
crash in Pike County Thursday morning leaves three people dead and one
recovering.
It
happened around 9:30.
"She
apparently lost control. She left the northbound lanes of travel. She crossed a
level median area here that's on an upgrade then traveled into the southbound
lanes," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Bryan Layne.
A
white Kia car spun out of control on 119 in Belfry right into oncoming traffic.
"After
losing control in the northbound lanes she came across in a broadside manner
and made contact with a Toyota Tundra," said Trooper Layne.
Two
of the people in the car died at the scene, 25-year-old Teshia Henry of
Prestonsburg and 43-year-old Howard Ravin of Salyersville. The third person in
the car, 48-year-old Bambi Davis of Salyersville, died at the hospital.
The
driver of the truck, Steven Douglas Viars II of West Virginia
Police
say a combination of speeding, wet roads and worn tires was likely the cause.
Kentucky
State Police are investigating.
