Snowy Roads Lead to Fatal Crash in Breathitt County

Snow covered road conditions contributed to a single vehicle crash Thursday morning that claimed the life of a Breathitt County man. State Trooper Steve Thomas with Kentucky State Police Post 13 in Hazard, along with emergency personnel, responded to the Clayhole community after receiving a call of a collision around 10:18am. Preliminary investigation determined that 56 year old Daniel Noble of Lost Creek, operating a 1992 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck on KY 476, when he lost control on the snow covered roadway. The truck slid off the road where it collided with a tree. Noble was pronounce dead at the scene by Breathitt County Coroner George Griffith. Noble was wearing a seatbelt at the time of collision and there doesn’t appear to be any other contributing factors.
