The domino effect happened across central Kentucky roads Sunday. Overnight rain left drivers with hazardous conditions and that's being blamed for several accidents.

It was a frightening scene at about Noon on Sunday, when two cars collided at the I-64 and I-75 northern split in Lexington.

Officials say the driver of a tan car was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.

Wet pavement was likely a factor in the crash on I-75 as well as one on Mount Sterling Road in Clark County at about 11:00 a.m. "We were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with a subject possibly dead on arrival," says Battalion Chief Ernest Barnes with the Clark County Fire Department.

But luckily, when crews arrived, the driver of a demolished blue car was responsive and taken to the hospital. The driver had run off the road and crashed his car into two utility poles. The crash was so violent it cracked the telephone pole in half and bent the power pole. The driver is expected to be okay.

The slick roads may have also contributed to a crash in Lexington Sunday morning at New Circle and Russell Cave Road. The driver of one car was checked out at the hospital after a van slammed into the back of her. The driver is expected to be just fine.
