Hopkinsville, KY (December 16, 2024) – Two people were injured in a crash involving a semi-truck on I-24 West near mile marker 85, just before 4:30 p.m. on December 16, 2024. According to the Hopkinsville Fire Department (HFD), the semi-truck, which was operated by a team crew of two individuals, overturned and blocked all westbound lanes of traffic.

Both the driver of the semi and his passenger were treated at the scene and then transported to a hospital in Clarksville. Fortunately, their injuries are not considered life-threatening, and they are expected to survive. Authorities have not provided further details regarding the extent of their injuries, but it is believed they were both in stable condition following the crash.

The westbound lanes of I-24 were closed for several hours as emergency crews worked to clear the scene and manage the situation. The crash caused significant traffic delays, with drivers advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes during the closure.
