LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A semi-truck rolled onto its side and burst into flames Wednesday according to Louisville police.
Louisville Metro Police Department spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said officers responded to a vehicle collision around 6:45 p.m. on the Watterson Expressway near Taylorsville Road.
Mitchell said the initial investigation showed where a passenger vehicle and the semi-truck were heading westbound on I-264.
