A Crash on US-62 Saturday afternoon claimed the life of a Texas man and injured two others.

Kentucky State Police Post 1 said troopers from the crash reconstruction team responded Saturday afternoon after getting a call from the McCracken County Sheriff's Office about a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of KY-286 and US-62 in West Paducah.

The investigation reportedly revealed 20-year-old Guillermo Miranda, of Cedar Creek, TX was traveling east on US-62 when his vehicle crossed the centerline and struck an oncoming semi driven by 44-year-old Sanjeev Joseph, of Clovis, CA. Troopers said Joseph attempted to brake, but was unable to avoid colliding with Miranda.

Miranda was pronounced dead at the scene by the McCracken County Coroner's Office. A juvenile passenger in Miranda's vehicle was airlifted by Air Evac to Skyline Medical Center in Nashville. Joseph was transported to Mercy Health Lourdes Hospital in Paducah for treatment.
