A two-vehicle non-injury accident occurred at the intersection of KY 801 North and KY 158 causing a Ford Mustang and a Ford F-150 pickup to collide.
According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Department, the accident occurred around 9:09 a.m.
Cara Cox, 25, of Morehead was northbound on KY 801, approaching the KY 158 intersection when the Ford Mustang she was operating hit snow and ice and slid into the Ford F-150 pickup truck operated by Samuel Cunningham, 31, of Morehead who was traveling southbound.
