A two-vehicle accident on Ky. 550 in Knott County yesterday killed Knott resident Jerry Johnson, 21, of Carrie, Kentucky State Police said. A vehicle being driven west by Delisa Hurt, also of Carrie, crossed the center line and crashed into Johnson's vehicle at 10:50 a.m. Hurt lost control after braking, the state police said. Hurt was wearing a seat belt; Johnson was not, the state police said. Hurt was treated for minor injuries at the Hazard Appalachian Regional Hospital. Johnson was pronounced dead at the same hospital. No further information was available, and the cause of the accident is under investigation.
Attorney General Greg Stumbo nominated two Democrats and a Louisville Republican to fill one of four vacancies on the state Personnel Board. Stumbo sent Gov. Ernie Fletcher a letter on Tuesday asking him to consider the candidates and select one in time for the panel's meeting later this month. The person will replace E. Patrick Moores, who resigned last month as part of the governor's agreement to end a lengthy investigation into his administration's personnel practices. Moores' term would have expired Jan. 1, 2010. As part of the agreement, four of Fletcher's appointees to the board - which oversees personnel decisions for most state employees - were forced to resign and the governor was to pick their replacements from Stumbo's hand-picked candidates.
