Kentucky State Police responded to a three-vehicle fatal collision just south of Mt. Washington in Bullitt County around 8 p.m. Wednesday.
The preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Grand Cherokee operated by 47 year-old Jason Durbin, of Bardstown, was traveling southbound near the 800 block of US 31E when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the center line and struck a Chevrolet Cavalier that was traveling northbound head-on, which resulted in a Ford F-250, also traveling northbound, to strike the Cavalier.
The driver of the Chevrolet, 26 year-old Gary Bowman, of Coxs Creek, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner’s Office. Durbin was taken to UofL Hospital for life-threatening injuries. The driver and a passenger of the Ford pickup truck were not injured.
The affected portion of US 31E was closed down for several hours in order to allow troopers to reconstruct the collision. Kentucky State Police Post 4 was assisted at the scene by the Mt. Washington Police Department, Bullitt County Sheriff’s Office, Bullitt County EMS, and the Bullitt County Coroner’s Office.
The collision remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.
