Kentucky State Police responded to a two-vehicle fatal collision on the Bluegrass Parkway in Nelson County late Tuesday night.
Just after 9 p.m. EDT, Kentucky State Police Post 4 received a call of a vehicle traveling west in the eastbound lanes near the 25 mile marker of the Bluegrass Parkway. A short time later, Nelson County Dispatched advised Kentucky State Police of an injury collision near the same location.

The driver of the Ford, 71 year-old Raymond Mills of Mt. Washington, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Nelson County Coroner’s Office. A 29-year-old passenger in the pickup truck was transported to the University of Kentucky Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The eastbound lanes of the Bluegrass Parkway were closed for several hours in order to allow troopers to investigate and allow clean-up crews to clear the scene.
Kentucky State Police was assisted at the scene by the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office, Nelson County EMS and the Nelson County Coroner’s Office.
The collision remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.
