Kentucky Women Attempts a Rolling Driver Swap and Fails
MOREHEAD, Ky. — A weekend crash that occurred as two people tried to switch who was driving a car has killed a woman in eastern Kentucky.
A report from the Fayette County Coroner's Office stated 20-year-old Kelita Nicole Hicks of Olive Hill died while undergoing surgery at University of Kentucky Hospital on Saturday morning.
Deputy Coroner John A. McCarty stated Hicks was sliding over the car's T-top and was outside the vehicle as it traveled Ky. 519 just north of Morehead at highway speed when her foot hit the steering wheel.
The car veered left and the other person, who was sliding into the passenger seat, grabbed it, turning it sharply right, throwing Hicks was from the car's roof and into a guardrail.
