Four-vehicle crash blocks lanes on I-65 near St. Catherine; injuries reported

A four-vehicle crash is blocking all lanes on Interstate 65 heading downtown near the St. Catherine area, WLKY reported Wednesday afternoon, with injuries reported as crews respond on scene.

WLKY said the crash has shut down the downtown-bound lanes, prompting widespread traffic disruption for motorists using I-65 in the corridor near St. Catherine while emergency personnel work to secure the roadway and assist those involved.

The report described the incident as involving four vehicles and said injuries were reported, but it did not specify the number of injured people, the severity of injuries, or whether anyone was transported to a hospital.

As of the initial report, the lane shutdown remained in place, affecting travel times for drivers commuting through the interstate segment. Motorists were advised to expect delays and use alternate routes if possible, while responders manage the scene.

Public safety teams typically coordinate scene safety, evidence collection if needed, and traffic control during multi-vehicle crashes on interstate highways, particularly when injuries are involved and vehicles must be moved or cleared from active lanes.

The cause of the crash was not stated in the initial report. Investigators generally determine fault through driver statements, vehicle damage assessments, and available roadway or surveillance information after the vehicles are secured and the scene is stabilized.
