One dead in head-on Calloway County crash

A head-on crash on Wednesday night in Calloway County claimed the life of a Madisonville man.

The crash occurred on KY 121 at Rob Mason Road. Deputies said 57-year-old Timothy E. Traylor was a passenger in a pickup driven by 29-year-old Colby A. Traylor of Calvert City. They were traveling south on KY 121 when a northbound SUV driven by 21-year-old Huskey C. Hutch of Paducah reportedly ran up behind a vehicle pulling a trailer with no tail lights. 

The Kentucky State Police collision reconstruction team believe Hutch swerved into the oncoming lane to avoid contact with the unlit trailer, resulting in a head-on collision with Traylor's truck.

Timothy Traylor was pronounced dead at the scene by the Calloway County Coroner.

Hutch and Colby Traylor were taken to a local hospital for their injuries.
