Authorities have released more details about a crash that killed a man on Interstate 24 just a mile west of the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit Saturday morning.
Kentucky State Police say 86-year-old Cecil Gustin of Thompson Springs, Utah, was eastbound when he changed lanes and collided with another vehicle driven by 22-year-old Dilynn Roper of Vienna, Illinois. Gustin’s vehicle then traveled off the roadway before hitting an embankment. Both vehicles caught fire after the crash.
Gustin was reportedly trapped in his vehicle and was killed in the crash.
Interstate 24 eastbound was blocked in the area for several hours as the crash was being investigated. Roper was not injured in the wreck.
The crash happened just after midnight.
