This story is confusing. The title says Loogootee Woman killed, but the story says that Mr. Kuykendall was killed. Also \”Huntingburg\” is the correct spelling of the town not \”Huntinburg\”. Thanks for the story.
Thank you for clarifying the typo in “Huntingburg” that was an error even WTWO made when they wrote the story. For clarification, Mr. Kuykendall from Olney, Illinois was thrown from the vehicle and passed away. He also had a family member named Kuykendall. Finally, the title said that a woman from Loogootee was killed in the crash, and we used it in the title to clarify what viewers could read in the story.
