Truck driver killed in 4-vehicle I-75 wreck
5/12/08 Kentucky.com, KY Quote:
The driver of a tractor-trailer died Monday following a wreck involving four vehicles on Interstate 75 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky State Police said.
Northbound lanes were still closed seven hours later with traffic being diverted off at mile marker 62. Vehicles were allowed back on the interstate at mile marker 76.
No names of the people involved in the wreck were released.
About 12:45 a.m., state police responded to a wreck at the 68-mile marker of I-75, north of Mount Vernon.
The tractor-trailer struck a Ford pick-up truck in the rear, overturned and slid into a concrete bridge pillar, state police said.
Accident reconstructionists determined that a Chevrolet passenger car going southbound on I-75 had stopped in the southbound shoulder to avoid a Chevrolet van. The van then crossed the median into the northbound lanes and stopped.
The tractor-trailer and Ford pick-up truck were in northbound traffic, which was attempting to avoid the van. No one in the van and passenger car were injured. A passenger in the tractor-trailer and the driver of the pick-up truck were taken to area hospitals. Their conditions were not immediately available.
