A crash involving a motorcycle and a car sent one person to a hospital after it occurred on an I-75 ramp in Lexington late Friday night, according to the Lexington Police Department.
Police said the crash happened at about 9:45 p.m. on the outer loop of Man o’War at the I-75 ramp. The incident involved a motorcycle and a car, WKYT reported, citing the department.
WKYT’s report said one person was transported to a hospital as a result of the collision. The report did not provide details on the person’s condition or the circumstances leading up to the crash.
The I-75 interchange area near Man o’War is a high-traffic corridor, and crashes there can affect travel for motorists entering or exiting the interstate and moving along the outer loop, especially during evening hours.
Police did not, in the reported account, specify whether any arrests were made or whether alcohol or impairment were factors in the collision. Additional investigation by the department would determine those points based on available evidence.
As of the time of WKYT’s publication, the reported information focused on the location, the vehicles involved, the time of the crash, and the transportation of one person to medical care.
The Lexington Police Department’s ongoing investigation would typically include gathering statements, documenting the scene, and determining what traffic laws may have been violated, if any. Public records and subsequent reporting would be expected to shed more light on the incident’s cause and the identities of those involved.
