Semi and passenger vehicle crash near the I-64W I-75N split in Lexington (Dec. 6, 2025)

Quick facts (public info only)

Early Saturday morning, Dec. 6, 2025, a semi truck and a passenger vehicle collided near the I-64W / I-75N split in the Lexington area of Fayette County. Lexington police said the crash happened around 5:00 a.m., and one person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Initial reporting also indicated the ramp to get onto I-75 northbound was closed for a period of time following the collision.

Public reporting did not identify a carrier name or USDOT number, so those details remain unknown at this time.

Why crashes at the I-64/I-75 split are a big deal

The I-64/I-75 split is one of Central Kentucky’s busiest interchange zones. When a commercial truck crash happens here, it often involves fast-changing traffic patterns—merging lanes, ramp geometry, and sudden slowdowns. Those conditions can turn routine driving into a chain-reaction risk, especially in low-light early morning hours.

Who may be liable (fact-dependent)

In a semi vs. passenger vehicle crash, responsibility depends on the evidence, but may involve:

• The semi driver

• The motor carrier/employer (once identified)

• The passenger vehicle driver (depending on lane position, speed, or right-of-way factors)

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

• A shipper/broker in limited scenarios (if evidence supports unsafe dispatch pressure or related negligence)

Evidence that matters most in a semi crash near an interchange

Commercial truck cases are heavily evidence-driven. Key items often include:

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

• ELD/telematics data (speed, braking, GPS points, hours-of-service)

• ECM data and trailer ABS events (where available)

• Dispatch messages and trip records (timing, routing, delivery windows)

• Scene documentation (photos, debris field, lane markings, signage, ramp geometry)

• 911/CAD logs and traffic-management records tied to the ramp closure and response

If any of this data is not preserved quickly, it can be overwritten or lost.

What to do if you were involved or injured

• Get medical care first and keep follow-up appointments.

• Save your photos, dash-cam clips, and notes about the location, time, and lane conditions.

• Keep track of missed work, mileage to appointments, prescriptions, and how injuries affect daily life.

• Be cautious with insurance calls—especially recorded statements—until you understand what evidence exists and who all the insurers are.
