Fundraiser set up for family of Versailles Road crash victims

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ)- Money is being raised for a pair of Lexington business owners after the tragic loss of their parents this week.

A GiveForward page built recently says Matt Bradford and Jennifer Cooper, of Bradford BBQ lost their parents in a crash on Versailles Road earlier this week. The site says the two will be taking a “short break from serving us delicious meals to be with their family during this time.”

Wednesday, the Fayette County Coroner confirmed Joseph and Cynthia Beemer died in a crash that shut down Versailles Road and injured another person. Officers say it happened when the Beemer’s were hit head-on by a red pickup truck that crossed the median.

The Lexington food truck community is raising the money for Bradford and Cooper. Organizers of the fundraiser say the money will be used to keep their business afloat and make up for lost revenue in the meantime.
