Kentucky State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a Tennessee man wanted in connection to a fatal crash in Lyon County nearly two years ago.
Post 1 Spokesman Trooper Sarah Burgess in Mayfield says 31-year old Jose Antonio, of Portland, was driving a vehicle eastbound on Interstate 24 in Lyon County that resulted in a head-on collision on June 22, 2020 that claimed the life of a passenger in the other vehicle involved in the wreck.
According to Trooper Burgess, the facts of the case were presented to a Lyon County grand jury that led to Antonio being indicted on charges of reckless homicide, four counts of fourth-degree assault-minor injury, driving on a DUI suspended license, and failure of non-owner to maintain required insurance. She says an arrest warrant was issued for Antonio on November 3, 2021.
Antonio is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and brown eyes, standing approximately 5’6″ tall and weighing around 150 pounds.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Jose Antonio is asked to contact Kentucky State Police, Post 1 at (270) 856-3721 or anonymously at 1-800-255-5555.
