Daviess County, KY – 1 Injured in Serious Three-Vehicle Crash on WB Wendell Ford Expy 

Daviess County, KY (November 19, 2025) – Deputies responded Tuesday afternoon, November 18, to a major three-vehicle crash on the westbound lanes of the Wendell Ford Expressway, also known as the Bypass. The collision occurred around 1:40 p.m. and involved a semi-truck, a passenger car, and a pickup truck hauling an excavator.

According to the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office, the westbound lanes between KY 54 and US 231 were shut down while emergency crews worked the scene. The crash left one person seriously injured, and paramedics provided treatment before arranging additional medical care. Authorities have not yet released details about the injured individual or the cause of the crash.

By 3:00 p.m., officials confirmed that the roadway had been cleared and reopened to drivers. The Sheriff’s Office says the investigation remains ongoing as they review crash evidence and roadway conditions. 

We hope the seriously injured victim gets a speedy and full recovery.

Truck Accidents in Kentucky

Truck accidents are a serious concern on Kentucky highways, especially on busy routes. High-speed travel, heavy traffic, and large commercial vehicles increase the stakes when a wreck happens. Accidents involving semis, pickup trucks hauling equipment, and smaller passenger cars can lead to severe injuries because of the major size differences between the vehicles.

Victims of a truck accident may experience a wide range of injuries, including:

• Neck and back injuries, caused by sudden impact and violent movement
• Head trauma, which can range from concussions to severe brain injuries
• Broken bones, especially in collisions involving heavy machinery or trailers
• Internal injuries, which may not be obvious immediately after the crash
• Emotional trauma, such as fear of driving or anxiety after the accident

These injuries can impact a person’s long-term health, ability to work, and daily routine. When multiple large vehicles are involved—such as a semi-truck and an equipment-hauling pickup—the force of impact multiplies, often creating greater damage and more serious physical harm.

Determining who is responsible in a multi-vehicle truck accident can be complicated. Factors such as driver error, improper loading, mechanical failure, or unsafe lane changes may contribute to the crash. Victims can benefit from speaking with a personal injury attorney who can help them navigate insurance claims, gather evidence, and pursue compensation.
