Deceased Name: WOLFE COUNTY MAN DIES AS  DUNE BUGGY CRASHES 
A traffic accident involving alcohol killed a Wolfe County man and 
injured another Saturday night in Campton, state police at Morehead said.  
Freddy L. Whisman, 18, of Campton, died of head injuries when the dune 
buggy in which he was riding collided with a car at Washington and Drake 
streets, Wolfe County Coroner Frank Porter said.   
Police said the dune buggy, eastbound on Drake Street, went through a 
stop sign and collided with a northbound car.   
Whisman was thrown from the dune buggy. He was dead at the scene.  
The accident occurred at 7:40 p.m. Saturday.   
The driver of the dune buggy, Wilgus Roberts, 18, of Campton, was not 
injured. He was charged with drunken driving, driving without  
registration and driving without insurance, police said.   
Another passenger in the dune buggy, Steve Banks, 20, of Campton, 
sustained head and shoulder injuries and was taken to the Middle 
Kentucky River Medical Center in Jackson. He was dismissed yesterday, 
a hospital spokeswoman said.  The driver of the car, Phillip E. Nickel, 
20, of Campton, was not injured. 
He was charged with driving with a suspended license and driving 
without insurance.  Nickel was not wearing a seat belt, and police 
did not know if the people in the dune buggy were wearing helmets.   
Whisman is survived by his parents, Lester Eugene and Carol Whisman; 
two brothers, Linville Eugene Whisman, of Hendersonville, N.C., and John 
D. Whisman; four sisters, Kimberly Trent and Marie Windon, both of
