The Kentucky State Police Post 4 is investigating a two-vehicle fatal collision that occurred on Saturday, February 28, 2026, just after 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of KY 44 East and Watergate Drive near Mount Washington in Bullitt County.
The preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Tacoma, operated by a juvenile, was traveling westbound on KY 44 East when, for unknown reasons, the passenger-side tires dropped off the right side of the roadway onto a steep shoulder. The operator overcorrected, causing the vehicle to cross the centerline into the eastbound lane and into the path of a Ford Escape, operated by 27 year-old Sarah Weisman of Shepherdsville.
The Toyota Tacoma struck the Ford Escape head-on, causing the Ford to travel down a small embankment and overturn onto its roof, where it came to final rest.
Sarah Weisman was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner. The juvenile operator of the Toyota Tacoma was not injured.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Shepherdsville Fire Department, Mount Washington Fire Department, and Bullitt County EMS.
The accident remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.
