The Kentucky State Police is investigating after a pedestrian was killed in Nelson County Monday.

Troopers from KSP Post Four responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision involving a pedestrian at approximately 10:45 p.m. July 8.

Troopers arrived at the scene of the accident, located near the 4,000 block of Louisville Road just north of Bardstown. The KSP says the preliminary investigation shows a vehicle being operated by Langleigh Winters of Bardstown was traveling north on Louisville Road when she failed to observe a pedestrian walking in the northbound lane and struck him with the vehicle.
