LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A crash in Lexington has turned deadly.
It happened Tuesday on Royster Road, off Winchester Road.
Officials say a car struck a tree.
One person was taken to the hospital, where they later died. That person has now been identified as 45-year-old Matthew Perraut.
According to a report from the Herald Leader, he is the same Matthew Perraut who is formerly a cross-country coach in Bourbon County and was accused of having a sexual encounter with a student back in 2015.
The Herald Leader reports Perraut was indicted by a grand jury on the same day as the crash.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
