LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Four people were killed in a crash Tuesday on US 31W in Muldraugh.
According to a news release, Kentucky State Police Post 4 received a call for assistance from Meade County dispatchers around 5:45 p.m. Tuesday for a two-vehicle fatal crash near 362 North Dixie Highway.
The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2016 Chevy Equinox, driven by 52-year-old Synthia Armstrong of Brandenburg, was traveling south on US 31W when it crossed the center line and was hit a 2003 Cadillac CTS, driven by 44-year-old Christina M. Diaz of Louisville.
It's not clear why the Equinox crossed over the line.
Armstrong and Diaz, along with a 12-year-old girl in the Cadillac, were pronounced dead at the scene by the Meade County Coroner's office. A 14-year-old boy in the Cadillac was taken to U of L Hospital, where he later died. A 7-week-old passenger in Armstrong's vehicle was uninjured but was taken to Norton Children's Hospital to be examined.
Family members describe 14-year-old Joshua Diaz as a freshman at Fern Creek High School who was an avid college basketball fan who loved playing video games with his friends. MacKenzie Conn, a 12-year-old, had just finished 7th grade at Thomasville Jefferson Middle School, according to family, who say she was "full of spark and life and ready to take on the world with her girl power."
Christina Diaz was a devoted mother, according to family members, who say she was such a die-hard UK fan that she could be heard by neighbors during games.
Police are still investigating the crash.
