Crash kills pregnant driver and paramedic

“She loved what she did. That's all she ever thought about was helping someone else”

The freezing rain that coated parts of Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday morning is being blamed for a bizarre series of accidents that killed a young pregnant woman and the paramedic who was trying to help her.

Just after 9 a.m., Paintsville Emergency Medical Services received a call of a pregnant woman needing an ambulance on U.S. 460 in Johnson County, near the Magoffin County line, said Jim Williams, a spokesman for Paintsville EMS.

The mother-to-be, Erica Brown of Salyersville, had lost control of her car on the icy road and crashed into a rocky cliff 5 miles west of Paintsville. She was not injured, but she wanted a paramedic to make sure her unborn baby had not been harmed in the jarring crash, Williams said. Read more

Reed is found guilty of murder

“They saw what looked like lightning inside the vehicle”

Family members of Brandi Rowe -- whose bullet-ridden body was pulled from a Magoffin County creek nearly a year ago -- sobbed loudly last night and hugged each other as a jury convicted the man accused of killing her.

The jury deliberated nearly six hours before finding Don Reed, 63, of Salyersville guilty of murder, tampering with physical evidence and abusing a corpse in the death of Rowe, 28.

His sentencing is set for 2 p.m. Jan. 30.

Authorities began searching for Rowe in December last year after she was reported missing. Nearly a month later, her body was pulled from Quicksand Creek, off Ky. 542 near the border of Breathitt and Magoffin counties. Read more
