Lexington, KY (July 29, 2025) – An early morning crash involving a semi-truck caused significant disruption on Interstate 75 South, just before mile marker 116 near Newtown Pike.
The collision was reported on July 29 around 7:51 a.m., and at least one person was injured in the incident. Emergency crews responded quickly to the scene, where at least one lane was blocked as responders worked to assist the injured and clear the wreckage.
Details about the cause of the crash or the extent of the injuries have not yet been released, but officials confirmed that the semi was one of the vehicles involved. One or more injured parties were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Traffic was slowed in the area for several hours while authorities conducted their investigation and cleared the scene. Kentucky State Police are handling the investigation.
We hope those hurt in this crash make a rapid recovery.
Across Kentucky, collisions involving semi-trucks and other large commercial vehicles remain one of the most dangerous types of roadway accidents. Whether you're traveling along I‑75 in Lexington or navigating a two-lane highway in rural Kentucky, the sheer size and weight of an 18-wheeler means that any crash has the potential to cause devastating injuries or fatalities.
When these heavy trucks collide with passenger vehicles, the results can be catastrophic. Victims often face broken bones, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, and other life-altering conditions. The road to recovery can involve months—or even years—of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and emotional healing.
The financial burden of a truck accident can also be overwhelming. Between mounting hospital bills, time away from work, and the need for ongoing care, many victims feel hopeless, especially when the crash was caused by negligence such as speeding, distracted driving, improper loading, or driver fatigue.
Under Kentucky law, truck drivers and the companies that employ them can be held accountable when they fail to operate safely. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a semi-truck accident, you have the legal right to pursue compensation for your injuries, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
