All lanes of US 27 at KY 169 in Nicholasville shut down for collision investigation, police say

All lanes of US 27 at its intersection with KY 169 in Nicholasville were shut down Friday evening after a collision, according to a report from Nicholasville Police carried by LEX18.

The shutdown affected traffic traveling along the US 27 corridor where the roadway meets KY 169, creating a full closure at the intersection while officials investigated the crash scene, the station reported. Nicholasville Police said the closure was in place for the investigation and scene management.

LEX18 reported the lanes were still closed as officials continued their work at the location on the evening of the crash. No information was included in the report about the number of vehicles involved, the cause of the collision, or the identities of any drivers at the time of publication.

Officials did not provide details in the LEX18 report regarding injuries, hospital transport, or whether any citations were issued. The station also did not include information about any weather or road conditions contributing to the crash.

Because the intersection remained blocked for the investigation, motorists were expected to reroute around the US 27 and KY 169 junction until authorities cleared the scene. The full closure can affect commute times and local access for residents near the affected roadway corridor.

Nicholasville Police have not publicly outlined in the LEX18 report the investigative steps being taken, such as crash reconstruction, witness interviews, or whether dash-camera or traffic-report data will be reviewed. Additional details could be released later if the department issues a follow-up update or if charges are filed in connection with the crash.

As of the LEX18 publication time, the main confirmed fact was the full shutdown of all lanes at the intersection of US 27 and KY 169 while officials investigated the Friday evening collision.

Residents seeking to travel through Nicholasville are expected to check for further updates from local authorities as the roadway closure is adjusted or lifted, depending on when the investigation and scene clearance are completed.
