UNION, Ky. — One person is dead after a crash involving two dump trucks and a pickup truck on US-42, the Boone County Sheriff's Office said.

Officials said deputies responded to the intersection of US-42 and Bleu Yacht Lane just before 1 p.m. Monday for a crash. A preliminary investigation determined a person driving a 2019 Kenworth dump truck was traveling northbound on US-42 behind a Chevy Silverado.

When the driver of the Silverado came to a stop, the driver of the dump truck crashed into the rear passenger side of the Silverado, forcing it to veer into oncoming traffic. The Silverado then crashed into a 2026 Western Star dump truck traveling southbound.

Hermon Lewis Estes Jr., the 75-year-old Covington native driving the Silverado, was pronounced dead at the scene.
