A crash involving a bucket truck in Greenville last week has claimed the life of a Muhlenberg County man.
Greenville Police reported that officers were called to the scene of the crash around 8:15 Friday morning at the intersection of the Kentucky 189 Bypass and Airport Road.
Police said an investigation revealed that 77-year-old Larry Hancock of Greenville was driving north on the Kentucky 189 Bypass when, according to witnesses, he failed to stop at a red light as he approached Airport Road and pulled into the path of a bucket truck driven by 39-year-old Justin Frazier of White Plains, who was traveling east on Spartan Drive. Police said the bucket truck struck the driver’s side of Hancock’s vehicle.
According to police, Hancock was transported to Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
