Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department requested Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 2 to investigate a fatal collision on Cannon Road in Princeton on Friday, January 19 just before 9pm.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 17-year-old juvenile was operating a UTV southbound on Cannon Road. For unknown reasons, the UTV dropped off the right shoulder of the roadway. As the vehicle reentered the roadway, the operator lost control, causing it to overturn.
The juvenile was pronounced deceased while en route to the Caldwell County Hospital.
The investigation is ongoing by Trooper Eathan Garrison.
