17-year-old Avel Gundorin has passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a vehicle vs pedestrian collision on Tuesday, August 11th, 2020 on Hwy East 80 in Adair County.

The collision occurred 4 miles east of Columbia on KY80. Upon arrival and investigation it was found that an unknown young, white male was pushing his bike in the middle of the roadway, going west toward Columbia. A 2007 Chevy pickup, operated by William Bryant, 79 of Columbia who was also traveling west, came over a small rise and struck the male who was in the roadway. The young man had no I.D. but the Adair Co. Sheriff's Office eventually discovered his identity with family members identifying him after seing a picture taken from a security camera.

Gundorin was flown to the University of KY Medical Center in Lexington, KY where he had been in the Intensive Care Unit since Wednesday. Again, Vundorin succumbed to his injuries earlier today (Friday).
