Victim identified in deadly three-car crash involving TARC bus in Park Hill

Police said the driver of one of the three vehicles involved in the crash at South 23rd and West Oak was pronounced dead Tuesday evening.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One person is dead following a multi-vehicle crash involving a TARC bus in Park Hill.

Metro Police responded to the intersection of South 23rd and West Oak Streets Tuesday around 4:40 p.m.

A spokesperson for the department said an adult driver of a pickup truck was transported with critical injuries but was pronounced dead at UofL Hospital.

The Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 59-year-old Andrew Rawles.

Two other adults were also taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

LMPD’s Traffic Unit is investigating the crash, which neighbors said was all too familiar. 

"We're in danger, here on this corner," Mo Williams said. He owns a barbershop at the intersection. It's the same intersection where Williams said he's seen three people die. 

Among the dead was a Louisville Water Company Employee. 

In July of 2019, Jimmy Stone was repairing a hydrant that was damaged in a crash when another collision sent a vehicle sliding into him and a coworker. Stone died and his coworker was injured. 

With this most recent death, neighbors are again asking for more to be done with the intersection. Neighbors suggested different solutions, but they all agree the two stop signs aren't enough. 

“Something has to be done -- or we are going to keep having deaths here," Williams said.
