Deceased Name: OLIVE HILL WOMAN DROWNS AFTER CRASH
OLIVE HILL -- A Carter County woman drowned after she lost control of her car and it overturned into a creek on Ky. 174 near Olive Hill, a coroner said yesterday.

Chryl Rodgers, 20, of Olive Hill, drowned as she was trying to escape by kicking out the windshield of her flooded car, said Carter County Coroner Roger Sullivan. He said officials think Miss Rodgers died sometime overnight

because water in creek had time to freeze around the car.

State police said Miss Rodgers' car might have been in the creek as long as 12 hours before it was found at 8:19 a.m. Police said icy roads caused Miss Rodgers to lose control of the car.

Miss Rodgers, daughter of Frank and Dazel Rodgers
