LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Two men are dead after their pickup truck slammed into a tree near a Lexington Road.

Lexington police say someone called at around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday to tell them they heard what sounded like a crash along Keene Road.

Police arrived to find a pickup on its top with two men trapped inside.

The Lexington Fire Department arrived to extricate the men from the truck.

The Fayette Co. Coroner says 21-yr-old Justin King and 21-yr-old James Wallace died on the scene.
