Two die in I-24 accident

A Princeton man was killed in a two-vehicle accident Thursday night about 6:30 p.m., on I-24 in Christian County.

According to Kentucky State Police, Trisha Apte, 22, of Georgia, was operating a 2006 Honda Civic eastbound on the interstate, when for an unknown reason, her car ran off the pavement and into the sunken grass median. From there, Apte's car entered westbound traffic, striking on the driver's side a car driven by Andrew F. Young, 24, of Princeton.

Young was pronounced dead at the scene by the Christian County Coroner. Apte was life-flighted to Vanderbilt University Hospital, where she died at about 10:30 p.m.
