Kentucky State Police reported that the driver who died in a crash early March 26 on KY 55 near the KY 551 intersection has been identified as Richard B. Bennett, 38, of Columbia.
Bennett could not be identified at the scene because the vehicle he was driving was destroyed by fire and was completely engulfed in flames when emergency services arrived at the scene.
Bennett’s family, however, released an obituary and placed flowers at the scene of the wreck several days following the incident.
