Louisville, KY (December 23, 2024) – A devastating head-on collision early Monday morning on Highway 31 near the Clark Memorial Bridge claimed the lives of two individuals and left two others hospitalized with serious injuries. The crash occurred around 3:22 AM and prompted the closure of the bridge for more than four hours.

According to the Jeffersonville Police Department, a northbound vehicle crossed the center line and collided head-on with a southbound vehicle. Tragically, two passengers in the southbound vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger from the same vehicle sustained serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. The driver of the northbound vehicle was also hospitalized with serious injuries.

The identities of the victims have not yet been released. Investigators from the Jeffersonville Police Department and Indiana State Police are working to determine the circumstances that led to the crash, including why the northbound vehicle veered into oncoming traffic.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives and with the injured as they recover.

Head-On Collisions in Kentucky

Head-on collisions, particularly on busy routes like Highway 31, are among the most dangerous types of crashes due to the extreme force of impact. Contributing factors often include speeding, driver distraction, or impairment.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet emphasizes the importance of driver vigilance, adherence to traffic laws, and cautious driving, especially during low-visibility hours, to prevent such tragic incidents.
