CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Ky. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Hopkinsville man was killed in a crash early Friday morning in Christian County.
The crash occurred around 6:15 a.m.
According to initial reports and witness statements, the vehicle was discovered early this morning as a passerby noticed the vehicle off of the roadway.
Deputies and emergency personnel discovered the body of 42-year-old Larry Joe Shewey of Hopkinsville, who was apparently the only occupant of the vehicle.
From evidence at the scene it was determined that the vehicle was traveling south bound sometime overnight/ early morning and for unknown reasons left the roadway, striking the ditch and flipping several times, which caused Shewey to be ejected.
It is unknown at this time whether alcohol or other substances contributed to the crash. Toxicology will be performed during the autopsy.
