Fatal Truck Accident On Northern Kentucky Highway

From the Kentucky Post:

"Three were pronounced dead after a pick-up truck and a Fed-Ex truck collided just before 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

The crash occurred on U.S. 42 at Miller Owens Road in Verona, Ky., claiming the lives of the three occupants in one of the vehicles and sent the other driver to the hospital with minor injuries.

Tamara Roberts, 45, of Warsaw, was driving a 2002 Ford F-150 pick-up truck south on U.S. 42 when the Boone County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Tom Scheben said, she lost control of the vehicle and began to slide sideways into the path of an oncoming 2007 Workhorse Fed-Ex delivery van driven by Gary Hutchinson, 55, of Dry Ridge, who was heading northbound.

Scheben said that the Fed-Ex truck T-boned the pick-up truck killing the two passengers in the pick-up truck, who were both seated on the passenger side. Tamara's son Dillon Roberts, 11, who was in the front seat, and her father Dallas Wallace, 70, was sitting in the rear seat, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Tamara died en route to the hospital. None of the victims were wearing seat belts."
