At approximately 7:18 p.m. on November 7, 2024 the Lawrence County 911 Center dispatched first responders to a two-vehicle collision on KY 644 at the intersection of Meadowbrook Lane. Officers from the Louisa Police Department and Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department, along with emergency personnel from Patriot EMS and the Louisa Fire Department, arrived swiftly to provide immediate assistance to those involved.

Tragically, at approximately 2:22 a.m., Ms. Frazier succumbed to her injuries at Three Rivers Medical Center. The collision remains under investigation, with Sergeant Steven Wilburn and Patrol Officer Shelby Taylor leading the case.
