Fatal Collision in Fulton County

The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 1 in Mayfield, received a call of a pedestrian being struck near KY 94 and KY 1212 on Feb. 7, at approximately 1:36 p.m.

Preliminary investigation by KSP shows Ryan M. Henderson, 21 of Fulton, was traveling east on KY 94 driving a 2000 Ford pick-up truck, when his vehicle struck Dairus T. Carr, 92 of Hickman, who was walking across the highway towards his mailbox.

The wet roads were a factor in Henderson's inability to stop in time, according to KSP.

Carr was first transported to a hospital in Union City, Tenn., and passed away at approximately 5:57 p.m., while being transferred to a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

KSP Trooper Adam Jones is continuing his investigation.
