The Pulaski County Coronerâs Office has released the identity of a man killed Tuesday night in a motor vehicle accident.
Coroner Clyde Strunk has identified the man as Esau Diaz, believed to have been 32 years of age and living in the Knoxville area. Diaz, the coroner said, was identified Thursday afternoon by two brothers who had traveled to Pulaski County after being notified of an alert Strunk issued seeking assistance in finding the driverâs next of kin.
Part of the problem, Strunk explained, was that Diaz was carrying the identification of his nephew Alejandro â who ironically had been killed in a separate accident some three weeks ago.
This article has been updated to reflect patient conditions.
A head-on collision that occurred Tuesday night just east of Somerset has left one person dead and two others seriously injured.

According to Pulaski County Sheriff Greg Speck, deputies arriving on scene determined that a 2009 Jeep was eastbound in the westbound lane of Ky. 80 when it struck a westbound 2016 Dodge Ram pickup head on.
The driver of the Jeep SUV was identified only as a Hispanic male. Pronounced dead at the scene, according to Pulaski County Coroner Clyde Strunk, the driver s next of kin had not been notified by press time Wednesday evening.
