UPDATE: July 21 at 1:00 p.m.
Kentucky State Police report that a juvenile was killed in a multi-vehicle crash involving a semi on I-75 near exit 83 in Madison County on Sunday evening.
An initial investigation, according to KSP, indicates that traffic was "heavily congested" when a semi failed to slow down and struck the rear of a Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 33-year-old. As a result, KSP says that the impact caused the semi to hit a guardrail and collide with a Ford F-350 pulling a recreational vehicle, and the Chevrolet Silverado struck the rear of another semi.
According to KSP, the driver was taken to the University of Kentucky Albert B. Chandler Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and a juvenile passenger, identified by the Madison County coroner as 16-year-old Tristan Brown from Berea, was pronounced dead on Sunday at an area hospital.
KSP says the investigation is ongoing.
UPDATE: July 21 at 6:35 a.m.
