Accident Kills Two Year Old

  • {Kentucky}...Arturo Rodriguez, 22, of Louisville, was charged with murder Friday. State police say he had been drinking and was southbound on I-65 when he lost control of his vehicle about five miles south of Elizabethtown, crossed the median and went into the northbound lanes and overturned, ejecting a 2 year old girl, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Rodriguez and another passenger, Silena Smith, also of Louisville, were taken by helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital. After Rodriguez was released from the hospital, he was taken to the Hardin County Detention Center, where he was being held Saturday on $500,000 cash bond.
