The Kentucky State Police is investigating a fatal collision which occurred in Meade County Saturday night.

KSP Post Four says at about 11:15 p.m. on May 31 the Meade County Sheriff’s Office requested troopers investigate a two-vehicle collision near the 4100 block of KY 144/Payneville Road.

The KSP says the preliminary investigation indicates that 20-year-old Robert Eldridge of Battletown was driving west on Payneville Road when he attempted to pass another vehicle. Eldridge’s car then struck an eastbound vehicle operated by John Kaw of Louisville.

Eldridge was pronounced dead at the scene by the Meade County Coroner’s Office. Kaw and a passenger in Eldridge’s vehicle suffered life-threatening injuries and were flown to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment.

The KSP says the affected portion of Payneville Road was closed for several hours for accident reconstruction. The investigation of the collision remains ongoing.
