A Tompkinsville woman died Friday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on the eastbound Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway just outside Glasgow.
A Kentucky State Police news release said an earlier crash at the 8-mile marker brought eastbound traffic to a stop. A refrigerated truck driven by Hiu Lin, 51, of Mason, Ohio, approached the stopped traffic in heavy rain and attempted to swerve to avoid hitting other vehicles. The truck instead struck a Chevrolet pickup truck driven by Daphnie Woodrum, 40, of Stanford, and a 2010 Kia SUV driven by Ruth Crowe, 74, of Tompkinsville.
Crowe was pronounced dead at the scene by the Barren County Coroner’s Office.
Lin suffered minor injuries and was treated at T.J. Samson Community Hospital in Glasgow and released.
Woodrum was uninjured.
