Driver in fatal wreck had suspended license
ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky State Police say a vehicle involved in a fatal crash on Interstate 65 was being driven by a man with a suspended license.
Police said 49-year-old Victor Chacon was driving a Nissan Pathfinder that was struck from behind by a FedEx truck pulling two trailers. Three people in the SUV were killed and four others, including Chacon, were injured.
Police say all the people in the SUV were family members traveling to Chicago from a wedding in Florida. The groom was among those killed in the collision Wednesday near Elizabethtown.
Police spokesman Bruce Reeves told The News-Enterprise of Elizabethtown that the cause of the collision is still under investigation, but he said who was driving the SUV likely isn’t a contributing factor.
