Kentucky State Police say Post 8 received a call from Wolfe County Dispatch just before 11 a.m. Friday requesting assistance with a double fatal collision on KY 15 South near Hunting Fork Road.
KSP Troopers, along with Wolfe County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the scene and launched an investigation.
Investigators say that a White Ford Fusion operated by Carl Osborn, 39 years of age of Thornton Kentucky was traveling Northbound on KY 15 when he crossed the centerline into the Southbound lane into the path of a Chevrolet Express Van operated by David Lemus Castro, 37 years of age of Lexington Kentucky.
Both Mr. Osborn and Mr. Castro were pronounced deceased at the scene by Wolfe County Coroner Frank Porter.
A passenger in the Express Van was transported by ambulance to Kentucky River Medical Center and later airlifted to UC Medical Center for Chemical Burns and remains in the hospital at this time.
