The above facts point out the dangers on some of the highways in Western Kentucky. As a person who travels through this particular intersection at least 10 times a week I can understand that it could be the site of such a tragic accident. It is definitely one of many intersections in Western Kentucky that must be navigated with caution.

Whether or not the family of Brenda Tucker has a Wrongful Death Claim against the other vehicle driver, is unclear. Whether there are grounds for any type of Criminal Prosecution is unclear. What is clear is that all of the fact are not known. In situations such as this it can take weeks, months or even years to discover exactly what happened.

In Case such as this, the Kentucky State Police or the Hickman County Sheriffs Office must open a Death Investigation Case. Sometimes the result of these investigations can stay open for months.
