According to Officials with the Kentucky State Police, just after 2:00 PM on Tuesday, troopers were called to a three-vehicle collision that took place between Somerset and Nancy.

 

A car being driven by 41-year-old Michael Fillmore, from Hemet, California, was traveling west on the parkway when he is said to have lost control. Afterwards, the vehicle crossed the center-line, moving directly into the path of two other vehicles, a pickup truck and a Freightliner commercial vehicle.

 

The drivers of those vehicles, 19-year-old Roy Nicholas, of Nancy, and 40-year-old William Galloway, of Charlotte, Tennessee, were both treated for minor injuries. Fillmore died in the crash and his body will be sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy.

 

The roads were closed while crews worked to clean up the accident. They opened again at around 6:45 PM on Tuesday night.
