A collision between a vehicle and a horse and carriage resulted in the death of a Hart County woman Monday.

Kentucky State Police Post Three says at approximately 8:24 a.m. on May 11 troopers were notified of an injury collision and responded to the 1600 block of South Dixie Highway in Munfordville. The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates a horse and carriage operated by Melvin Miller of Horse Cave was traveling north on South Dixie Highway. A pickup truck operated by John McBride of Munfordville was also travelling north when the vehicle collided with the back end of the carriage.

81-year-old Sara Miller of Horse Cave was a passenger in the carriage. She was transported from the scene by Hart County EMS to the Medical Center at Caverna, where she was pronounced dead. Melvin Miller was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment of injuries.

The KSP’s investigation is ongoing.
