AUBURN, Ky. – The Kentucky State Police has released further details surrounding a fatal wreck Thursday in Logan County.

According to authorities, KSP was requested by the Logan County Sheriff’s Office to investigate a two-vehicle collision on Bowling Green Road near Pleasant View Drive in Logan County.

KSP trooper Daniel Priddy confirmed Thursday afternoon that one person had died.

KSP says an investigation has shown a driver was operating a tractor trailer hauling a flatbed trailer in the right eastbound lane on Bowling Green Road when it turned left, crossing both eastbound lanes to turn around in the median.

Robert T. Bryant, 39, of Glasgow was operating a 2015 Dodge pickup eastbound on Bowling Green Road when he was unable to avoid colliding with the tractor trailer, police say. Authorities say this was due to tractor trailer blocking both lanes.

Bryant was pronounced dead at the scene by the Logan County coroner.
