LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — A woman is dead after a single-car crash on Briar Hill Road right before 7 a.m. Friday, according to the Fayette County Coroner.

39-year-old Jessica Anne Yazell of Georgetown died from blunt trauma injuries due to the crash.

Coroner Gary Ginn says the car was going west on Briar Hill when it went off the road, hit a tree, swerved back across the highway, and hit another tree.

The coroner presumes speeding, slick roads, and lack of wearing a seatbelt as the factors ultimately leading to Yazell’s death.
