I-75 southbound crash at mile marker 112 in Lexington involved two semis (Dec. 31, 2025)

Quick facts (public info only)

On Wednesday morning, Dec. 31, 2025, traffic was significantly impacted on I-75 southbound at mile marker 112 in the Lexington area of Fayette County. The Lexington Fire Department reported a five-vehicle crash involving two semi trucks and three other vehicles. Public reporting did not identify any carrier names or USDOT numbers at the time of the initial update.

Why multi-vehicle semi crashes can get complicated

When a crash involves multiple vehicles and more than one semi, fault often depends on details that aren’t obvious from the first reports—like following distance, braking timing, lane changes, visibility, speed differentials, and whether a commercial vehicle driver was fatigued or operating under time pressure. The earlier the key evidence is preserved, the clearer the liability picture becomes.

Who may be liable (fact-dependent)

Based on how these cases typically work, potential responsible parties may include:

• The drivers involved (including both semi drivers, depending on the sequence of events)

• The motor carriers/employers for the semi drivers (once identified)

• A maintenance provider (if mechanical issues like brakes/tires are supported by evidence)

• A shipper/broker (in limited situations, if dispatch pressure or unsafe scheduling is supported by evidence)

Kentucky liability is fact-driven, and early assumptions can be wrong. The best approach is to preserve the data that shows what happened second-by-second.

Evidence that matters most in a chain-reaction crash

For collisions involving multiple vehicles and commercial trucks, the evidence that often matters most includes:

• ELD and telematics data (speed, braking events, location history, hours-of-service)

• Dash-cam footage (truck-mounted and any nearby vehicles)

• ECM (“black box”) data and trailer ABS events (where available)

• Dispatch and load records (route timing, delivery windows, cargo details)

• Scene documentation (photos, measurements, vehicle resting positions, debris field)

• 911/CAD logs and any available traffic-management records tied to the slowdown and response

Many commercial systems overwrite data quickly, so preserving it early can make or break the ability to prove what happened.

What to do if you were involved or injured

• Get medical care first, and keep follow-up appointments even if symptoms feel delayed.

• Save your own evidence: dash-cam clips, photos, and notes about the timeline and traffic conditions.

• Collect witness information if you can do so safely.

• Be careful with insurance calls, especially recorded statements, until you understand what evidence exists.

• Track losses: missed work, transportation costs, prescriptions, and how your injuries affect daily life.
