A Louisville auto accident involving two pickup trucks leaves two people dead and two others injured as a vehicle slams into a parked truck. The incident took place at approximately 6:30 PM on Sunday evening, January 17, 2010.
According to Louisville Metro Police spokesperson Alicia Smiley, the four unidentified victims were standing behind a parked pickup truck when the incident took place. Reports indicate that a second pickup truck slammed into the four men and rear-ended their truck.
Smiley reported that two of the men were pronounced dead at the scene. Rescue workers transported the other two men to University Hospital where they were treated for injuries sustained in the accident. Their condition was not made available.
There was no indication that drugs or alcohol were contributing factors in the fatal accident, according to Smiley.
