LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- One person is dead and another is in serious condition following an accident that occurred Sunday night on Interstate 65 north on the Lincoln Bridge, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department. 

In a statement, LMPD spokeswoman Beth Ruoff said the vehicle in the accident struck a concrete wall and then a pole before coming to a stop at the end of the ramp from Interstate 64 west to I-65 north. 

The driver, a 41-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police. A female passenger was transported to a local hospital. Ruoff said the female had serious injuries but was "stable" as of Sunday night. 

Police believe speed was a factor in the crash, which occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. 

The ramps from Interstate 71 and Interstate 64 onto the bridge were blocked, along with the right lane of I-65 northbound, as police investigated the crash. All lanes had reopened by early Monday morning.
