1 dead, 1 injured in Bardstown crash. What we know from Kentucky State Police

A woman is dead, and a man is seriously injured following a motor vehicle collision in Bardstown early June 21, Kentucky State Police spokesperson Scotty Sharp said in a news release.

Around 4:40 a.m., troopers responded to a request from the Bardstown Police Department to investigate a crash near the 800 block of West Stephen Foster Avenue, Sharp reported.

The driver of the vehicle, Jason Wurts, 25, of Taylorsville, was flown to the University of Louisville Hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, Sharp said. A passenger in the vehicle, Morgan Williamson, 27, also of Taylorsville, was transported to Flaget Memorial Hospital in Bardstown, where she was later pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation shows Wurts’ vehicle, a 2022 Hyundai Elantra, struck a tree and an unoccupied vehicle after exiting the roadway. Trooper Jesse Harp’s investigation of the collision continues, Sharp said.

Troopers were assisted at the scene by Bardstown Police, the Nelson County Coroner’s Office and Nelson County EMS.

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.

After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.

When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.

With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
