A tragic car accident in Posey County has resulted in the death of a female passenger. The incident occurred on Monday morning at the intersection of State Road 66 and Bluegrass Road, where a car was found in a ditch. The driver, identified as 35-year-old Dustin Broad from Spotsville, KY, was taken to the hospital and subsequently to jail.
Investigations are underway by Posey County Deputies to determine the cause of the crash. Preliminary reports suggest that the driver had a suspended driver’s license and multiple active arrest warrants from Vanderburgh and Warrick County. As a result, Broad now faces several charges, including OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) causing death, OWI prior conviction, and operating with a suspended license.
The female passenger, identified as 38-year-old Jodi Beth Wheeler from Chandler, tragically lost her life in the accident. She was found trapped in the car and pronounced dead at the scene. The details surrounding the incident, such as the circumstances leading up to the crash and the severity of the injuries sustained, have not been disclosed.
This is a devastating reminder of the dangers of driving under the influence and the importance of obeying traffic laws. Driving with a suspended license not only puts the driver at risk but also endangers the lives of innocent passengers and other road users.
The local community is mourning the loss of Jodi Beth Wheeler and sending their condolences to her family and loved ones. The investigation into the crash will likely provide more information about the events leading up to the accident and whether any additional factors contributed to the tragic outcome..
