Longtime Lexington television news anchor and radio talk show host Sue Wylie, 90, died after a car crash in Lexington Tuesday.

Wylie was involved in a collision at the intersection of Alumni Drive and Chinoe Road, the Fayette County Coroner’s Office said in a news release. She was pronounced dead in the Emergency Department at University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital at 7:47 p.m.

Five vehicles were involved in the collision, which was reported at 4:55 p.m., said Lt. Thomasena Grider of the Lexington Police Department. She said three people were taken to a local hospital after the crash, and police later learned one had died.

Wylie’s career in broadcasting began in Cincinnati in the 1950s and spanned six decades. Before joining WLEX in 1968, she worked in Columbus, Ohio, and Miami, where she was among the first women covering hard news in that television market.

She created the “Your Government” show for LEX 18 in the early 1970s and went on to host several governors on the show, as well as political figures including Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson.

Wylie retired from a 30-year career at LEX 18 in 1998 but continued to host a talk radio show on WVLK-590 AM until 2013.
