Louisville Metro Police Detective Jason Schweitzer and Timothy Moore, 56, killed in pedestrian collision with alleged drunk driver Suzanne Whitlow, 26, on South Upper Street in Lexington, Kentucky

Officials in Lexington say one of the victims was a Louisville Metro Police officer. Both victims were taken to a hospital, where they later died. Authorities have not yet released the names of either victim.

Detective Schweitzer began working for the Jefferson County Police Department in November of 2001. He was a detective in LMPD's 6th Division. 

Schweitzer had asked the man to point him toward a restaurant near downtown when they were struck, Lexington authorities said. The other victim was Timothy Moore, 56, of Lexington, the coroner’s office in Lexington said Saturday evening. Both died of multiple blunt force trauma, it said.

“He's never met a person that's not his best friend,” Hankison said. “There's nobody that didn't love Jason that knew Jason; that's why I think it's such a tragic thing when you lose somebody like Jason, you kind of wonder why.”

On Oct. 6, Suzanne Whitlow, 26, was issued a certificate of compliance for finishing classed required for a 2014 DUI conviction, in which her driver's license was suspended for 45 days and she paid fines and court costs of more than $700. Further details of that DUI arrest were not immediately available. 

The funeral of Det. Jason Schweitzer is expected to take place later today at Saint Michael Church, where mourners were already showing up before noon to pay their respects.

The funeral begins at 1 p.m. Community members, friends and family will be joined by Schweitzer's fellow officers.

The majority of the people who filled Saint Michael Catholic Church wore blue, a sign of love and respect for the family of Louisville Metro Police Department Detective Jason Schweitzer, 37.

A judge suspended her license and set a preliminary hearing for next month. The judge also changed her DUI charge to DUI -- second offense. 

Whitlow was not at the hearing. Wright says she's "is back in treatment," but declined to say whether that was for alcohol- or substance-abuse treatment or treatment for injuries suffered in the collision.

News outlets report that 26-year-old Suzanne M. Whitlow's case was waived to a Fayette County grand jury Monday.

Police say Suzanne Whitlow had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit. She is charged with manslaughter and DUI in connection with the deaths of Schweitzer and Moore.

On Friday, Whitlow pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree manslaughter, DUI and being a persistent felony offender. She's due in court for sentencing next month.
