Crash on I-65 near Scottsburg shuts down northbound lanes

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Interstate 65 has been reopened in Scott County after a crash involving three trucks.

Two people received minor injuries. It happened about five miles south of Scottsburg in the northbound lanes at about 1:40 this afternoon.

Troopers say the driver of one semi-truck ran into the rear of another that was broken down in the emergency lane.

That crash, in turn, forced one of the semis into the rear of a third truck used by a mechanic at the scene.

It took about three hours to clean up the mess.
