According to investigating LPD Detective Kevin Smith, a 2002 Chevrolet Impala, operated by Christopher Farmer, 22, of Leitchfield, was travelling on Hwy 1214 when Farmer lost control of the vehicle on the wet roadway.

The Chevrolet then struck a guard rail, left the road, and crashed into a tree, Smith said.
