Oldham County man accused in 2024 fatal crash released after posting $1.5 million bond
Jason Cornett, charged in the death of La Grange resident Margaret Preble, was released on a $1.5 million bond. Authorities say the November 2024 crash involved drunk driving and a hit-and-run.
Jason Cornett was released on a $1.5 million bond on Friday, Oct. 16, 2026, after being charged with murder in a fatal Oldham County crash, according to available case information.
Cornett is accused of hitting and killing Margaret Preble, 75, of La Grange, in November 2024 while driving drunk. The crash was described as a hit-and-run.
Cornett’s release on bond does not resolve the criminal case. The allegations have not been proven in court, and he is presumed innocent unless convicted.
