A truck driver has been indicted for murder after a crash that killed a tow truck driver on I-64 in Bath County. The crash happened in September of 2024 near mile marker 124. Kentucky State Police say 54-year-old Troy Caldwell of Morehead was loading a vehicle onto his tow truck when he was hit by a westbound commercial truck.
The driver, identified as 29-year-old Shodmon Yuldashev of Brooklyn, New York, was initially charged with tampering with physical evidence. Troopers say he was watching YouTube on a tablet at the time of the crash and tried to power it off and hide it during the investigation.Court records say Yuldashov was released… but he didn’t show up to his court date last October.
A Bath County grand jury has now indicted Yuldashev on a murder charge, alleging he
acted with extreme indifference to human life by watching videos while driving. He now has a warrant out for his arrest.
