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.

Authorities said a body recovered May 4 from the Ohio River in northeast Kentucky has been identified as a Columbus man, Dispatch news partner NBC4/WMCH-TV reported.
Lewis County Sheriff Johnny Bivens said the body has been identified as Jason D. Frisbie, 38, of Columbus. Bivens said authorities in Kentucky worked with Ohio officials to identify Frisbie this week.
Bivens said Lewis County took a call around 4:30 p.m. May 4 about a body in the river in Vanceburg, Kentucky, a few miles south of Ohio’s Shawnee State Park. Bivens said responding agencies took the body to the Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office.
Lewis County authorities asked for public help identifying the body. On May 9, Bivens confirmed Frisbie’s identity after working with Ohio officials and local responders.
Bivens said the death remains under investigation, and authorities did not offer information about a suspected cause.
