LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX NEWS) — A 36-year-old Versailles woman was killed when her SUV hit the back of a tractor-trailer on Interstate 64 west in Woodford County on Thursday morning, according to Kentucky State Police.
Christine Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash happened near the 61-mile marker in the westbound lanes around 9:45 a.m., according to troopers with KSP Post 12 in Frankfort.
Investigators say heavy traffic and a construction zone ahead had slowed traffic when Wilson's white GMC SUV, traveling in the right westbound lane, ran into the back of the semi.
The semi's operator, 47-year-old James Calvin of Wentzville, Missouri, did not suffer life-threatening injuries.
Both westbound lanes were closed while the scene was processed, but have since reopened.
Officials said the investigation into the wreck remains ongoing.
