June 23, 2010 - Nortonville, KY - A truck accident in western Kentucky has resulted in the death of a truck driver and injuries for 2 people who were parked in a pickup truck at the side of Edward T. Breathitt Parkway in Hopkins County.

According to reports in the Chicago Tribune, Kentucky State Police still do not know what caused Bryon E. Nuss Jr., 54, to leave the road before striking the parked pickup truck and continuing down an embankment during the June 20 truck crash.

The occupants of that pickup truck, Tammy Warren, 44, and Matt Warren, 17, had pulled over to the right shoulder of the roadway to read a map when they were struck by the out-of-control truck.

The pickup truck was also forced down the embankment, but luckily both Tammy and Matt Warren survived the truck accident and were taken to the Regional Medical Center in Madisonville. Nuss was taken to the same hospital for treatment but did not survive his injuries.
