He suffered severe injuries and was later pronounced dead at Jen- nie Stuart Medical Center. Tyler Woodrow, 45, Hop- kinsville, was headed south on the parkway extension around 5:30 a.m., said Chris Miller, a spokesman for the sheriff’s de- partment. Witnesses said it looked like Woodrow was hurrying. His SUV went off the right shoulder around the 2-mile marker, and he lost control when he cranked his wheel back toward the road, Miller said. His Honda Pilot overturned and ground to a halt with its roof on the pavement. The first emer- gency workers who arrived found Woodrow lying near the road’s center, 10 to 12 feet from the Honda, Miller said. Around 6:45 a.m., Miller said he had just received word Woodrow had been pronounced dead at the hospital.
