A Kentucky woman was arrested early Sunday for vehicular homicide and other charges after she collided with a man driving a moped, according to state police.
Kayleigh J. Dismuke, 19, of Eubank, is charged with vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol, operating a vehicle under the influence, failure to wear a seat belt and possession of an alcoholic beverage in a vehicle.
Kentucky State Police in London were dispatched to a two-vehicle fatal collision on US 27 and East Frog Hollow Road in Pulaski County shortly after midnight Sunday.
The initial investigation indicates that a gray 2014 Jeep Wrangler operated by Dismuke, traveled northbound on US 27 when her vehicle struck a black Happyrun Moped in the rear traveling northbound, state police said.
Dino R. Collins, 31, of Cincinnati, was driving the moped. Collins was ejected from the moped and taken to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital where he later died, according to state police.
Dismuke is being held in the Pulaski County Detention Center, according to online jail records. She is scheduled to appear in district court Monday morning.
