The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information from the public after a deceased individual was found inside a car that struck a utility pole in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Michael Scott Lee, 56, of Bowling Green, was found dead inside a 2016 Jeep Cherokee that had struck the pole in the 11000 block of Morgantown Road, according to a Facebook post from WCSO.

Personnel from WCSO’s Crime Scene team and Criminal Investigations Division were activated after Lee’s injuries “were not consistent with the vehicle’s impact,” according to the post.

Lee was transported to Louisville on Monday for an autopsy.

WCSO is urging those who may have observed anything “out of the ordinary” on security cameras or while driving in the area between the hours of 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. to contact the office and speak to a detective.
