 August is hot, and so are the savings at Appalachian Wireless, where all smartphones are 50% off. Even the 64, 128, and 256-gig models, two-year agreement required. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. Kentucky Highway 15 was closed for most of the day Tuesday after a crash involving a Chevrolet pickup truck and an empty coal truck near Isam in Letcher County. The driver of the pickup truck died at the scene of the crash. Kentucky State Police Trooper Scott Cottle, an accident reconstructionist, said the crash appeared unavoidable for the coal truck driver, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The commercial motor vehicle was traveling toward Knot County on Highway 15 while the passenger truck was traveling toward Weizberg. The passenger vehicle crossed into the oncoming lane of the commercial motor vehicle. Collision was unavoidable at that point. The same one thing we can release is that there is one confirmed fatality. Other operator was transported for medical attention. Travelers on Kentucky 15 were forced to use alternate routes Kentucky 931 and Kentucky 7 to get around the scene. The crash remains under investigation. At this point it's too early in our preliminary investigation to determine one way or the other if contributing factor would be drugs or alcohol. Hopefully we'll be able to make a more distinct determination as the investigation proceeds. In Isam, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
