LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A 35-year-old Lexington man was killed Friday morning when the Lexus sedan he was driving was T-boned as he went through an intersection.

Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn identified the victim as Aaron Mabry.

Mabry was northbound pulling from Victoria Way onto Man o’ War Boulevard just before 9 a.m. when his car was hit in the driver’s door by an eastbound pickup. The driver of the truck told police he was blinded by the morning sun and did not realize he had a red light and failed to stop. Marks at the scene suggested he tried to veer at the last second before hitting the car but police said accident reconstructionist who worked the scene would confirm those details.

Mabry was pronounced dead at the scene.

His car spun around and hit an SUV sitting in the westbound turn lane on Man o’War. The truck continued about 30 yards and ended up on the concrete center median about 25 yards from the point of impact.
