A wreck early this morning in Webster County claimed the life of a Providence man.

Kentucky State Police says 20-year old Nicholas Marvel of Providence was northbound on 41A about a mile north of Providence in Webster County around 1:40am when he crossed the center line and hit a southbound vehicle driven by 46-year old John Jones of Providence in the front driver’s side.

Jones was pronounced dead on the scene by the Webster County coroner. A passenger of Jones, 21-year old Jody Jones of Providence, was taken to Regional Medical Center in Madisonville for treatment of his injuries. Marvel and his passenger went uninjured.

The investigation into the wreck continues and everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.
