One dead after crash in Grayson County

The Kentucky State Police is investigating a fatal crash that occurred in Grayson County Monday.

KSP Post Four says at around 3:30 p.m. on March 24 the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office requested troopers investigate a two-vehicle collision near the 4,000 block of Grayson Springs Road.

The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates 42-year-old Charles E. Cann of Clarkson was driving a vehicle east on Grayson Springs Road when for unknown reasons the vehicle crossed the center line and struck a tractor-trailer operated by Bennie T. Sims of Clarkson.

Cann was pronounced dead at the scene by the Grayson County Coroner’s Office. Sims was transported to Owensboro Twin Lakes Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and was later released.

The KSP says Grayson Springs Road was closed in the area of the crash for several hours for accident reconstruction. The investigation of the crash remains ongoing.
