\nKentucky State Police Post 16 in Henderson received a call from Henderson County Dispatch of a three-vehicle fatal collision on Thursday (12\/10) around 6:15 p.m. in the 2600 block of US 60 West near Henderson Community College.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigation reveals 23-year-old Christian T. Flint of Morganfield was traveling west on US 60 when he ran off the right shoulder of the roadway and struck a guardrail. Troopers believe his 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt redirected back onto the roadway where he struck a 2008 Mazda driven by 52-year-old Chiemi Cheatham of Morganfield. Flint\u2019s vehicle then struck a 2004 Volvo driven by 19-year-old John Abbott of Henderson.<\/p>\n
Flint succumbed to his injuries while in-transit to the hospital. Troopers believe he was not utilizing his seatbelt. Cheatham was not injured and Abbott was transported to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville for non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
US 60 was closed for four hours while Kentucky State Police reconstructed the collision.<\/p>\n
Henderson County Coroner\u2019s Office, Henderson County Sheriff\u2019s Department and other agencies assisted troopers at the scene.<\/p>\n
The accident remains under investigation by the Kentucky State Police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
