A former University of Kentucky men's basketball player has been identified as one of two people killed in a Monday night car crash in Louisville.

Kerry Benson, 24, was a walk-on at Kentucky in 2007. He left the team mid-way through the 2007-2008 season to focus on his education.

A man had to be removed from his car and transported to a hospital after a train struck the vehicle in southeastern Jefferson County shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday.
