One woman was killed and three other people were hurt in a crash on the Mountain Parkway in Powell County Tuesday morning.
The incident happened at about 8:30 a.m. in the eastbound lanes near the Wolfe County line at mile marker 34. Police say a car carrying a grandmother, mother and granddaughter had made a stop on their way from Pike County to Lexington and realized that they had gotten back on the eastbound lanes of the parkway. The driver, the granddaughter, attempted a u-turn when the car was struck by a van that was also traveling eastbound.

One of the passengers in the backseat of the car, Betty McKinzie, 68, of Ivel in Floyd County was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene.
The male driver of the van as well as the two other women in the car were transported to local hospitals with non life-threatening injuries.
The parkway was closed for about two hours but has since re-opened.
