KSP investigates fatal collision in Casey County

LIBERTY, Ky. (October 21, 2025) - On October 21, 2025, at 7:24 A.M. EST, Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers responded to a two-vehicle injury collision on US 127, near the intersection with KY 501, in Casey County.

The preliminary investigation revealed that John Gingerich, 20, of Liberty, was traveling north on US 127 in a horse-drawn wagon. The wagon was not equipped with rear-facing lights or a slow-moving vehicle reflective placard. A Kia Sedona operated by Jacob Goodman, 33, of Columbia, was also headed north on US 127 when he did not see the wagon upon approach and struck it in the rear.


John Gingerich was transported from the scene to the Casey County Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased by the Casey County Coroner. Jacob Goodman was not injured during the collision; however, three juvenile passengers in his vehicle were transported to the Casey County Hospital with minor injuries.

KSP Post 15 Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Casey County Sheriff's Office, Casey County EMS, Dunnville Fire Department, and the Casey County Coroner's Office. Detective Weston Sullivan is investigating the collision.
