A 67-year-old Falmouth woman was killed in a two-vehicle accident around 6:10 p.m. on KY 22 East on Thursday, April 11.

Brenda Smith was pronounced dead at the scene by the Pendleton County coroner.

Death was the dark star of an afternoon assembly at Pendleton County High School on April 12, 2013. Sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety this program brought awareness to the dangers of teen drinking and drug abuse connected to the operation of a motor vehicle.
