Friday night at approximately 10:30, the Barren County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two-vehicle collision on Veterans Outer Loop, near Glasgow.

According to police, a 2005 Chevrolet, being driven by 24-year-old Shanda Shockley, of Glasgow, was stopped at the red light in the southbound lane of Veterans Outer Loop when a 2013 Cadillac, being driven by 47-year-old Lee Ann Tarry, also of Glasgow, struck Shockley’s vehicle in the rear.

The impact propelled both vehicles into the Veterans Outer Loop intersection with Edmonton Road.

Shockley was transported to TJ Samson Community Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Tarry was transported to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, and after her release on Saturday, lodged in the Barren County Detention where she’s been charged with DUI and murder.

She’s being held on a $500,000 bond.
