Buzz up! A second person has died as the result of injuries sustained in an auto accident that occurred on Shelbyville Road last night, according to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.

Robert Bell, 79, of the 1500 block of Gilliland Road, died at 9:18 this morning at University Hospital, said deputy coroner Eddie Robinson.

Bell was the driver of a Cadillac that was hit head-on by a Chevrolet Trailblazer that lost control on Shelbyville Road near Locust Creek Boulevard at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.

His wife, Nancy Bell, 85, who was riding in the passenger seat of the Cadillac, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Both died of multiple blunt-force injuries sustained in the crash, Robinson said.

The driver of the Trailblazer was uninjured. Two children, ages 6 and 7, who were riding in that vehicle, were taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital for observation.

Alicia Smiley, a spokeswoman for Metro Louisville Police, said no charges are expected to be filed at this time.

I know this is a reprint so I understand if it needs to be reposted another way but I am afraid of what the answer is and I don't know who to contact

Lily, I don't know them, but it looks like you are correct. I did a search of ASHA members with the last name "Bell" in KY, and this came up:
BELL, ROBERT A.
GILLILAND ROAD

I took out the house number, but it was in the 1500 block.
I'm sorry Lily.

OH No, I am so sad rigt now.

He has always been such and kind and wonderful person; I did not have the pleasure to meet Nancy but I am sure she was the same.

Always, every year he sat across from us at Louisville with his trademark cane, and all would stop and talk to him. He was such a fixture.

He made sure he came to my Aunt and Uncle's funeral too. SO sad. The SB world has lost another huge supporter

God Bless their family in their time of grief

I'm so sorry to hear this. I didn't know Mrs. Bell, but have known Bob at the horse shows since I came to Kentucky 35 years ago. One of the good people and one who sure did love a good Saddle Horse.

This is horrible. Bob and Nancy Bell are two of the kindest, most thoughtful people that ever lived. Bob enjoyed horses that he kept in training with Rob Wilson. I know that Rob was a very close friend of his. I am just sitting here in shock, shaking my head. This is just too sad for words.

The Wilsons have asked me to post this information on the arrangements for the Bells. Visitation will be at the Middletown Christian Church in Middletown, Ky. It will be held from 3:30 to 6:30 Monday the 15th of Dec. The double funeral service will be held at the church at 6:30 pm. following the visitation.
The Pearson-Ratterman Funeral Home is taking care of the arrangements.
The Wilsons were long time (40 years) friends of the Bells and are just devastated with this loss.

I am just so sad I can't stand it. Bob and Nancy were good people. I'm going to miss them terribly.
