At approximately 11:37 p.m. last night crews responded to a reported multi vehicle motor vehicle accident just prior to the 14 mile marker. One patient was extricated by South Oldham crews from a vehicle after striking a tree, then allegedly struck again by another vehicle resulting in the subject’s motor being completely dislodged, landing approximately 75 feet down the interstate. The extrication was complex and required an all-hands response.

Both law enforcement and fire crews were also forced to exit their vehicles while approaching the scene in order to coordinate snarled, stopped traffic to access the entrapped patient. It’s important for motorists to have situational awareness regarding emergency vehicle response and life-saving access when traffic stops, particularly on the interstate.

Thanks to all first responders, Kentucky State Highway crews, and dispatchers, who managed the incident with expediency, skill and professionalism.
