Son Of Former Kentucky Governor Dies

  • {Kentucky}...Forty-seven year old Bradley Carroll, the son of former Kentucky governor and present state Senator Julian Carroll, died at the Frankfort Regional Medical Center from injuries he received Sunday afternoon. Police say he was traveling north on U.S. 421 near the Versailles Road overpass in Frankfort when his vehicle struck the overpass's embankment head-on, deflected off the embankment, traveled across two lanes of the road, and struck a concrete median before it caught fire. Franklin County Sheriff Pat Melton says Carroll had experienced "dizzy spells" recently, but it is impossible to know whether he had one immediately before the crash, so investigators might not ever know the exact cause of the crash. Authorities say they have no reason to suspect drugs or alcohol were involved.
