a crash on Interstate 65.
According to Kentucky
State Police, the wreck happened Monday and involved two semis.
According to Master Trooper Norman Chaffins of Kentucky State Police, a
Freightliner tractor trailer operated by Jerry D. Compton, 60, of
Leitchfield rear-ended a Ford Escape driven by John R. Warner, 61, of
Goshen, KY around 2:30 p.m. Warner's SUV went airborne and overturned,
landing in the left hand lane of the interstate.

unclear if the lane closure had any bearing on the accident.
