The crash occurred at around 3:05 a.m. on the morning of Nov. 22 and involved a stationary truck, a gray Mazda 3, and a white Chevrolet Impala. Katherine Hutson, the deputy constable involved in the crash, was working extra employment by assisting with road repairs at the time. Her 8-year-old daughter, Kacey, was also present.
Police said the Mazda 3 crashed into Hutson’s Impala, which had its hazard lights on, causing that vehicle to crash into the stationary truck. The impact of the crash caused Hutson’s vehicle to burst into flames.
