A preliminary investigation found that a 26-year-old man from Florence, Kentucky driving a 2019 Ram pickup truck ran a stop sign and crashed into the Lankford’s 2017 GMC Terrain.
The man was traveling eastbound on Phillipsburg Union Road and ran the stop sign at the intersection. Lankford was heading northbound on Diamond Mill Road when the crash occurred, Root said.
As a result of the impact, the GMC overturned and went off the right side of the roadway. It came to a final rest of its roof.
Root said the 26-year-old was evaluated on scene by Union Fire and EMS but was not taken to a hospital.
