CLARKSON, Ky.  (March 25, 2025) – Kentucky State Police (KSP) responded to a two-vehicle collision in Grayson County Monday afternoon that resulted in a fatality.  

On March 24, around 3:30 P.M. CDT, KSP Post 4 received a call from the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office requesting KSP investigate a two-vehicle collision near the 4000 block of Grayson Springs Road. 

The preliminary investigation revealed that Charles E. Cann, 42, of Clarkson, was operating a 2007 GMC Sierra eastbound on Grayson Springs Road when, for unknown reasons, he crossed the center line and struck a tractor-trailer operated by Bennie T. Sims, 68, also of Clarkson.
