Kentucky Semi Truck Accident Sends 9 to the Hospital
Posted on May 20, 2009
A broken-down tour bus carrying a Christian gospel group was hit by a tractor-trailer on I-65 northbound north of Elizabethtown on the morning of Thursday, May 7, 2009. The Kentucky truck accident caused nine people to be sent to the hospital, including three children, according to officials.
None of the truck accident victims suffered life-threatening injuries, but one person may have been in serious condition following the 4:15 AM tractor trailer accident involving five vehicles, said Greg Lowe, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office executive officer.
There was a traffic jam for about two miles after I-65 was closed for approximately one hour. Authorities later opened one lane on the highway for traffic.
According to Lowe, the semi truck hit one of the two tour buses owned by the Morgan family, a Christian musical group. The tour bus was pulled over onto the side of I-65 after it broke down. Following the truck collision, the cab of the trailer burst into flames.
“At this point we don’t know if it was foggy, (the driver) fell asleep, or what,” said Lowe.
