I wanted to post an update on a story that many people have been following and the rocked the University of Kentucky Campus and stunned the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as well as those from Utah.  Connie Blount, 18, of Park City, Utah, was a Freshman and studying equine science as well as a member of the UK Equestrian Riding Team.  She was killed early last Sunday Morning in a Hit and Run Car Wreck in Downtown Lexington Kentucky. 

A Memorial Service was held in her honor Monday on the University of Kentucky Campus.  Her Father, Jack Blount, announced late that day that Police had impounded the Chevrolet Truck that hit and killed his daughter.  One Utah Radio Station reported that Police said that they had a person of interest in the case.  This person has yet to be identified. 

Currently, a person who leaves the scene of a Hit and Run Accident in Kentucky can not be charged with a felony.  I wrote a blog at my Kentucky Personal Injury Website detailing the law and how it is sure to outrage lawmakers and Kentuckians.  Connie's family will have a Kentucky Wrongful Death Civil Case against the Driver of the Truck.  

The following is a list of other stories on this tragic case:

JUSTIN LANDEEN and LINDSAY LANDEEN

We love our father. He loved making people smile and would light up a room when he walked into it. Our father was an amazing man who always took care of everyone else first. He made friends with people everywhere he went. He was a “people person” - a great friend, co-worker, family member and father.

Our dad was a Vietnam veteran and worked for more than 20 years as a Chicago firefighter saving lives, so to have his own end in such a violent way will never make sense to any of our family members.
