Authorities have released the names of the drivers involved in a fatal two-vehicle crash on Alben Barkley Drive Wednesday morning.

The Paducah Police Department says their preliminary investigation shows that 21-year-old Dequan J. Shoales of Paducah was driving west between Cardinal Lane and Barkley Woods shortly before 10:00 am when he lost control of his car and crossed the center line into the path of oncoming traffic. His car was hit by an eastbound vehicle, driven by 17-year-old Chance Davidson, of Boaz. Both drivers were taken to the hospital, where Shoales was pronounced dead a short time later.

The crash is being investigated by the Paducah Police Department’s Collision Reconstruction Team. Alben Barkley Drive was shut down for several hours after the crash due to the investigation.
