A woman who died in a crash Monday morning has been identified as a local college student.

Deputies said Allyson Davis, 21, of Banner, Kentucky died in the wreck. According to investigators, it happened on Interstate-75 near the 175 mile marker around 9:30 a.m.

According to deputies, Davis was driving northbound on I-75 when she lost control of her car after driving through water. Her vehicle then spun out of control, they said, and ended up lodged under a semi-truck’s trailer. Woman killed in Boone Co. crash identified as NKU musical theatre student

Because the bottom of a truck is higher than the bumper of passenger vehicles, when there is a collision the smaller vehicle easily slides under the truck and the first point of impact is the windshield. Seatbelts, airbags, and car crumple zones do not function as intended in underride crashes — leaving passenger vehicle occupants vulnerable to life-threatening injuries

Petition: Congress, Act Now To End Deadly Truck Underrides

Note: In order to raise awareness and preserve the memories of underride victims — precious ones gone too soon — I have been writing memorial posts on what appear to me to be underride crashes. I am not a crash reconstructionist, and I do not have all the facts on these crashes; but underride should be investigated as a potential factor in truck crash injuries and deaths.
