A Shelbyville High School student and a Shelby County woman were killed Saturday in a multi-vehicle accident in Kentucky.

According to a press release from the Shelbyville (KY) Police Department, law enforcement and emergency crews were dispatched just before 8:00 pm Saturday to Interstate 64 for a multiple vehicle accident.

An initial investigation revealed that a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica driven by Neina Marie Keel, of Fairland, IN, was traveling westbound when for an unknown reason the vehicle crossed the grassy median and struck an eastbound 2011 Chevy HHR driven by Darryl Lancaster, of Shelbyville, KY.

Keel was pronounced dead at the scene.  A juvenile passenger of the Pacifica was transported by helicopter with critical injuries to University of Louisville Hospital.  That juvenile, later identified as Rushelle Renee Boswell, 16, of Shelbyville, IN, died at the hospital.  (obituary information for Rushelle Boswell is available below)

Two other juvenile Pacifica passengers were transported to area hospitals in serious condition.

Lancaster was also pronounced dead at the scene.  He was the only occupant of the HHR.

A third vehicle was involved in the crash.  The driver was not injured.

As part of the investigation, toxicology reports are pending on all drivers.

The Shelbyville (KY) Police Department operates a joint accident reconstruction team with the Shelby County (KY) Sheriff's Office.  They were assisted by the Simponsville Fire Department, Shelby County EMS, KSP Post 12 Frankfort and the Shelby County Coroner's Office.
