Kentucky State Police said 20-year-old Erick Hendrix fled the scene after crashing in Madisonville last night, but later turned himself into police.
Police said 30-year old Lachelle Williams died as a result of her injuries at the scene, and 39-year old Thomasa Wallace was taken to the Regional Medical Center.
Police said after striking the women, the car crossed through a parking lot and struck a building and a utility pole.
