PINEVILLE, Ky. — Two men died early Thursday after their truck went off the road and into a ditch line in Bell County, Kentucky, according to deputies.

The Bell County Sheriff's Department said deputies responded to a crash with serious injuries on Little Clear Creek Road around 12:15 a.m. Thursday.

Deputies said 20-year-old Colby Fraizer of Pineville and 28-year-old Caleb Bayless of Pineville were driving down the road when their pickup truck went off the road into a ditch line, flipping the vehicle. Deputies said the force of the impact ejected both the driver and passenger from the truck.
