A single-car accident in Butler County this morning has taken the life of a 33-year-old woman.  Melody Harris, of Belcher Road, was driving a Kia vehicle when she veered off the side of the road, apparently overcorrected, and then struck the end of a bridge on the Sugar Grove side of Dimple Road.  Harris was approximately 1.5 miles from her home when the accident took place at around 9:15 a.m.  She was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene by Butler County Coroner Gerald “Marty” Jones II. 

A single-vehicle accident on KY 185 around 4:45 p.m. sent the driver to the hospital.  Christian Lopez, 19, of Bowling Green was traveling northbound in a 2001 white Nissan when he reached for something and went off the side of the road.  He overcorrected, crossing the southbound lane, and hit a tree.
