LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two people were rushed to the hospital Friday afternoon after a severe wreck on Highway 62 near Bethany Road in Charlestown.
The road in Southern Ind. is back open after the accident caused officials to shut it down shortly on Dec. 6.
Clark Co. dispatch says multiple vehicles were involved in the crash..
A spokesperson from the Clark County Sheriff's Department said one of the drivers had to be airlifted to the hospital. The other driver was rushed in an ambulance. There were no other passengers in either car.
It is unclear what the extent of their injuries.
The uptick in crashes is causing concern among some drivers in Charlestown.
"Things have gotten worse," said Tabatha Schocke, who has lived in the area all her life. She said the roads have become more congested over the years.
"More traffic, more wrecks," said Katy Wingler. "I've probably witnessed three wrecks in the last few months."
Wingler and Schocke agree they would rather take a ten minute detour than turn left.
"I don't do that. yeah," Schocke said. "I go find me a light. Because to me, that's dangerous, because people go too fast."
"It terrifies me, especially having my baby in the car, so I just avoid it at all costs," said Wingler.
The stretch of highway runs passed the River Ridge Commerce Center, which only continues to grow. Schocke said that with more development, she expects more traffic.
"I can't imagine what it's going to be like. And we're not there yet, we're not even close to there yet, so we'll see."
The Clark County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
