Louisville police say a veteran police detective was among two people struck and killed by a vehicle in Lexington.
Detective Jason Schweitzer's death on Saturday was announced on the Louisville Metro Police Department's Facebook page. 56-year old Timothy Moore, a UK employee and Navy veteran was also struck and killed.
Lexington police have arrested 26-year-old Suzanne M. Whitlow and charged her with two counts of second-degree manslaughter and one count of DUI. Schweitzer and Moore were struck around 2:30 a.m. EDT Saturday when Whitlow lost control of her vehicle. They were taken to a hospital, where they died of their injuries.
Louisville police say Schweitzer had been an officer in Jefferson County since 2001 and was serving as vice president of the River City FOP Lodge 614.
