LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The eastbound lanes of the Watterson Expressway were closed near Taylor Boulevard on Saturday night after a fatal crash.Â
The crash occurred just before 9:30 p.m., when a woman driving a Chevy Cruze was hit by another car traveling at a high rate of speed, according to LMPD spokesperson Alicia Smiley.Â

The driver that struck the woman continued driving on eastbound on the Watterson Expressway before striking a center concrete barrier.
