Harrodsburg, KY (September 30, 2025) – Police are searching for the driver of a pickup truck involved in a hit-and-run accident that left two people hospitalized on Saturday morning, September 29, in Harrodsburg.

According to investigators, the crash happened just after midnight at the intersection of Lexington Street and College Street. A pickup truck ran a red light, struck an adult and a teenager who were walking in the crosswalk, and fled the scene without stopping.

Emergency crews transported both victims to a local hospital for treatment. Their injuries have not been fully detailed, but police confirmed both remain hospitalized. Witnesses who saw the crash provided valuable information to officers as they continued the investigation.

Authorities are asking anyone with knowledge about the truck or the driver to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing.

We extend our best wishes to the victims for a full and speedy recovery. 

Pedestrian Accidents in Kentucky

Pedestrian accidents often cause serious injuries because people on foot have no protection against the force of a vehicle. Intersections, especially at night, present major risks when drivers speed, ignore traffic signals, or fail to yield. 

Common injuries from pedestrian accidents include:

• Broken bones that may require surgery and long rehabilitation.
• Head and brain injuries that can lead to permanent impairments.
• Internal injuries, including organ damage or bleeding, which can be life-threatening.
• Spinal cord damage that may cause chronic pain or even paralysis.
  

Sadly, when drivers commit hit-and-run offenses, victims are left without the immediate help they need.

Victims of pedestrian crashes often face long hospital stays, mounting medical bills, and lost wages. Families may also struggle emotionally as their loved ones recover. In these situations, legal support can play a critical role.

When someone is hurt in a pedestrian accident caused by driver negligence, they may have the right to pursue compensation. An experienced personal injury attorney can investigate the case, work with witnesses, and hold reckless drivers accountable. Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost income, therapy, and pain and suffering.

Acting quickly is vital because Kentucky law limits the time victims and families have to file claims. Partnering with a skilled lawyer ensures evidence is preserved, rights are protected, and the strongest case is presented.
