Crash in Breckinridge County leaves one dead

A man from Vine Grove is dead following a crash in Breckinridge County Friday night.

The Kentucky State Police says at approximately 7:30 p.m. on September 20, the Breckinridge County Sheriff’s Office requested troopers from KSP Post Four investigate a two-vehicle collision near the 7,000 block of KY 333.

The KSP says the preliminary investigation shows that 18-year-old Kenenth R. Miller of Vine Grove was driving north on KY 333 when for unknown reasons he lost control of his vehicle, overcorrected, and crossed the centerline, traveling into the path of a truck being driven by Dennis Barnes of Vine Grove.

Miller was pronounced dead at the scene by the Breckinridge County Coroner’s Office. Barnes did not report any injuries. 

Miller’s obituary from the Alexander Funeral Home in Irvington notes that he was a 2024 graduate of Breckinridge County High School. 

KY 333 was closed for several hours to allow for accident reconstruction. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
