The Kentucky State Police Post 11 is investigating a two-vehicle wreck in Science Hill that killed an Ohio man.
The wreck took place Sunday morning just after midnight. It happened near the intersection of U.S. 27 and East Frog Hollow Road.
KSP stated the initial investigation indicates that a gray 2014 Jeep Wrangler operated by Kayleigh J. Dismuke, 19, of Eubank, KY, was traveling northbound on U.S. 27 when her vehicle struck a black Happyrun Moped in the rear that was also traveling northbound on U.S. 27. The operator of the moped was Dino R. Collins, 31, of Cincinnati.
KSP said that Collins was ejected from the moped. Somerset-Pulaski County EMS took him to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital, where it was determined he sustained fatal injuries, and he was pronounced deceased by the Pulaski County Coroner’s Office.
Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in this collision.
The operator of the Jeep Wrangler, Dismuke, was arrested and charged with Vehicular Homicide When Under the Influence of Alcohol, Operating a Motor Vehicle Under Influence, Failure to Wear Seat Belt, and Possession of an Open Alcohol Beverage in a Motor Vehicle.
KSP Post 11 Trooper Matthew Brumley is conducting the ongoing investigation. He was assisted at the scene by Post 11 Personnel, Somerset-Pulaski County EMS, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, the Science Hill Fire Department, and the Pulaski County Coroner’s Office.
