The victim was 19 year old Kevin Marsillette of Prestonsburg. He was a passenger in a vehicle operated by Goldsmith Hercule. While traveling on US 114 the driver swerved to avoid a deer in the road and crossed the center line into oncoming traffic. A second vehicle operated by Jeffery Arnett crashed into them and ejected Marsillette from the car. He was transported to Highlands Regional Medical Center, but passed away while being airlifted to UK Medical Center. The official report says that he was not wearing a seatbelt.
