How the U.S. 40 Crash Near Rocheport Unfolded
The crash happened at about 5:47 p.m. and involved two vehicles, a Chevrolet Equinox and a Jeep Renegade. The patrol said the Equinox, driven by a 75-year-old man from Clark, was headed east when it struck a deer. The patrol said the deer ended up in the westbound lane in front of the Jeep, went through its windshield and struck the Jeep's driver. The patrol said the Jeep then left the road and hit trees. The Equinox stopped on the right shoulder. The Glasgow man was pronounced dead at the scene, and the patrol said the Clark man was not hurt.
What Troopers Reported After the Crash
Troopers notified the Glasgow man's family. U.S. 40 was closed for about an hour before it reopened. The patrol has not announced any charges in connection with the crash.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.
