One dead in head-on collision on Blandville Road

A head-on collision early Friday morning west of Paducah on US 62/Blandville Road left an Arkansas man dead.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office said the collision occurred near Fisher Road when a van operated by 33-year-old Luccas McMahon of Horsehoe Bend collided head-on with a pickup operated by 59-year-old Ricky Butterfield of Kelso, Washington. The impact caused the van to overturn.

McMahon was pronounced dead at the scene while Butterfield was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Investigators said rain and wet roadways were believed to be factors in the collision.
