Kentucky State Police Investigate Fatal Collision In Bullitt County

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. (March 1, 2026) – The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 4 is investigating a two-vehicle fatal collision that occurred on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at approximately 7:34 p.m. at the intersection of KY 44 East and Watergate Drive near Mount Washington in Bullitt County.

The preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Tacoma, operated by a juvenile, was traveling westbound on KY 44 East when, for unknown reasons, the passenger-side tires dropped off the right side of the roadway onto a steep shoulder. The operator overcorrected, causing the vehicle to cross the centerline into the eastbound lane and into the path of a Ford Escape.

The Toyota Tacoma struck the Ford Escape head-on, causing the Ford to travel down a small embankment and overturn onto its roof, where it came to final rest.

The operator of the Ford Escape, Sarah Weisman, 27, of Shepherdsville, was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner. The juvenile operator of the Toyota Tacoma was not injured.

Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Shepherdsville Fire Department, Mount Washington Fire Department, and Bullitt County EMS.

Trooper Scott Wheatley and Detective Brad Holloman responded to conduct collision reconstruction. Detective Holloman is continuing the investigation.
