It was approximately 4:30 p.m. when 51-year-old Jeffrey Tuggle was driving a pickup truck on Frankfort-Ford Road when he veered off of the roadway and crashed into some trees. His passenger, identified as Marlene B. Chaffin, 56, was ejected from the truck and then crushed beneath it. After some good Samaritans helped lift the truck off of her, she was rushed to the hospital by helicopter but eventually died. Tuggle was arrested for driving under the influence and currently remains in jail. He could face more charges.
