Elizabeth Pittman, 36, killed in car accident on May 9 on US 68 near Louisville, Kentucky

Elizabeth Pittman, 36, of Lebanon, was traveling east on US 68 driving a 2001 Nissan when she attempted to pass another eastbound vehicle. Records indicate Pittman was unable to complete the pass due to oncoming traffic, steered back into her lane of travel, then lost control of the vehicle. She dropped off the eastbound shoulder, returned to the roadway and struck a semi vehicle in the rear of the trailer. The semi was operated by 58-year-old Michael Brock, of Berea, KY. Police say Brock was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision and was not injured. Pittman was also wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Marion County Coroner.
