The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 4 and the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division responded to a two-vehicle collision in Meade County Thursday morning that resulted in a fatality.

On August 21, around 10:32 am KSP Post 4 received a call from Meade Co. Dispatch to assist with the investigation of a fatal collision on US 60 involving a semi-tractor trailer and passenger truck.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a tractor-trailer, operated by Marshall Morgan, 77, of Guston, was traveling eastbound on US60 when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the center line and struck a Ford F-150, operated by Glenda Ricketts, 74, of Shepherdsville.  A passenger in the pickup truck, Jerry Ricketts, 80, also of Shepherdsville, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Meade County Coroner's Office.
