Joseph Currie, 28 of Ft. Gay passed away this morning (Thursday) due to extensive head injuries after being hit by a 2006 Ford vehicle that was gold in color.
After repeated requests, the information released by the State Police Post #9 in Pikeville has been minimal.
The identity of the person driving the car has not been made public, nor the circumstances for some reason.
The accident happened on Route 23 near the 201 turnoff while Currie was walking North toward Louisa. The accident is still under investigation and as of now, no charges have been filed.
Currie’s family has set up a go fund me account as they do not have the money to finance his funeral at this time. Currie leaves behind a 7 year old son (seen in the picture).
