Their 11-year-old boy survived the crash, the coroner’s office reported.
Authorities were dispatched to the junction of Kentucky 182 and Cave Branch near Carter Caves State Resort Park on reports of a single-vehicle accident, the release said.
A 2014 Honda CRV was reportedly traveling west along Kentucky 182 when the driver, Jitu Galani, passed the entrance to the state park.
Galani put the car in reverse and attempted to back down the roadway when the vehicle dropped off the shoulder and became stuck, the release continued. During an attempt to free the vehicle, the car rolled backward over a culvert and landed upside down in a creek, the release said.
The crash is still under investigation.
