Icy roads are believed to be a contributing factor in a Feb. 1 accident that claimed the life of a Leitchfield woman.
Debra Stephens, 64, was killed around 7:45 a.m. CST in the two-vehicle collision, which happened at the 124-mile marker of the Western Kentucky Parkway, in Hardin County.
Stephens was driving east in a Chevrolet Silverado and “due to the ice-covered road conditions at the time” crossed the median into the path of a westbound Freightliner being driven by William Roberts, 62, of Winchester, Kentucky State Police Trooper Scotty Sharp said.
