The driver of a pickup truck involved in a fatal accident in Jessamine County earlier this week now faces a manslaughter charge.
Deputies say Marlene B. Chaffin, 56, died after Jeffery Tuggle lost control of his pickup truck Monday along Frankfort-Ford Road and went into a ditch. Chaffin was ejected from the vehicle and ended up pinned under the truck. She was airlifted to UK Hospital where she later died.
