Kentucky State Police said 20-year-old Kelsey Wheeler was driving south on Spout Springs Road when she lost control in a curve. 

Wheeler crossed the center line and crashed into Justin Carson, 34, of Irvine.

Carson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Wheeler was taken to UK Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

There was a second crash with no injuries, as the driver of that car tried to avoid the first crash.
