Accident Occurs On Bridge Project

Versailles, Ky., Aug. 19 (Special)--A crane operator was killed at a Central Kentucky Parkway bridge construction side on the Kentucky River about 2 p.m. today.

Kelley Carmine Shelton, 57, of 625 St. Anthony Drive, Lexington, an employe [sic] of the Ruby Construction Co., was pronounced dead on arrival at the Woodford Memorial Hospital by Coroner Dorsey E. Clark.
