BONNIEVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Police say a passenger vehicle traveling the wrong way on Interstate 65 in Kentucky crashed into a charter bus killing one and injuring several others.
KSP Trooper Jeremiah Hodges said the smaller vehicle was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when the crash occurred this morning (Thursday) near Bonnieville. He says the driver of the passenger vehicle died, the bus driver was seriously injured and 8 of 39 passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says in a statement that all southbound lanes are blocked in Hart County between Bonnieville and Munfordville. Traffic is detouring via Exit 71 at Bonnieville to US 31W and rejoining I65 in Munfordville.
Investigation and clearing is expected to last through mid-morning. Motorists going through Kentucky on Southbound I65 may wish to utilize Exit 91 at Elizabethtown to Western Kentucky Parkway Westbound to William Natcher Parkway (I-165) Southbound and rejoin I65 in Bowling Green.
