THREE BRECKINRIDGE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS KILLED IN ACCIDENT ON DIXIE 
HIGHWAY--
KOSMOSDALE -- A three-vehicle accident on Dixie Highway early Saturday morning 
claimed the lives of three Breckinridge County High School students, and 
injured two other individuals, one of whom was also a resident of Breckinridge 
County.
     Louisville Metro Police were dispatched to an accident around 6:30 a.m. 
ET just north of the intersection of Dixie Highway and KY 44 near the Hardin 
County line.
     According to Alicia SMILEY, public information officer with Louisville 
Metro Police, a Dodge Neon driven by Christopher PHILLIPS, 17, was southbound 
on Dixie Highway when the car hit a patch of ice.  The Dodge crossed the 
median and collided head-on with a northbound Ford car driven by Jerry Allen 
HARVEY, 28, whose address was unavailable.  The Dodge was then struck by a 
northbound pickup truck, causing the car to catch fire.
     Two passengers in the back seat of the Dodge--Jessica DOWELL, 18, and 
Christopher KIPER, 18, both of Hardinsburg were pronounced dead at the scene 
by Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Rita Taylor. 
     A third passenger, Matthew ALDRIDGE, 18, of Garfield, was ejected from 
the front passenger's seat.  ALDRIDGE was transported to University Hospital, 
where he died of multiple blunt-force injuries.
     According to Taylor, the three teens all died of multiple blunt-force 
injuries.  Smiley said the four friends were returning home from a teen dance 
club on Bardstown Road.  She told "The Herald-News" Tuesday morning that 
investigators were confident neither alcohol nor drugs contributd to the 
accident.
     Both ALDRIDGE and DOWELL were seniors at BCHS, and KIPER was a junior.  
PHILLIPS was reportedly a former student.
