Sewell. The two men were on their way to work at Y.A. America in Versailles when the accident occurred. Officer Sewell, who investigated 
the accident, said Hale was driving a 1988 Chevrolet pickup truck east bound on Blue Grass Parkway and hit a slick spot on the Kentucky 
River Bridge at the Woodford/Anderson County lines. A semi truck, driven by Richard A. Shuler, Jr. of Ohio, was following Hale at a 
short distance, Sewell said. He said Hale lost control of the truck on the slick snow covered road and struck the bridge on the left side 
of the road, which caused the vehicle to spin around facing west bound toward the semi. Shuler attempted to stop, according to the 
investigating officer, but could not and struck the pick up head on. Woodford police said the semi carried the smaller truck about 
152 feet further down the road after impact. According to Sewell, the semi driver was not injured. No one in the pick up was 
wearing a seat belt, according to police.
