LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Lanes of I-65 South heading into downtown Louisville near the Kennedy Bridge are back open after a fatal, fiery semi crash.
TRIMARC confirmed traffic in the area resumed following the Saturday evening incident.
LMPD said the crash happened at mile-marker 136.6 leaving multiple lanes blocked.
Sue Zollman, a witness who contacted WHAS11 News, caught a large fireball on her dashcam as she was traveling back into southern Indiana from Louisville.
According to LMPD’s public information officer John Bradley, one person died in the incident. It’s not clear if it were the person who was operating the semi.
It was the second accident on that stretch of I-65 on Saturday.
Earlier, a semi crashed and overturned, causing it to lose its load and spill onto the roadway.
The driver in that crash had to be removed from the semi and was taken to the hospital.
Police did not disclose what may have led up to the current crash.
The investigation into the separate incident are ongoing.
