Two Deaths on Louisville Roadways to End June
Posted on Jul 02, 2008
Two deaths occurred on Louisville Roads to end the month of June. In the morning hours of Friday, June 28, 2008. The accident apparently occurred around 4:00 am when the driver of a Ford Explorer ran a red light and slammed into a Mitsubishi. The accident occured at the intersection of Taylorsville Road and Chenoweth Run in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky. It is believed that the driver of the Explorer died at the scene of the accident. One of the passengers of the Explorer was trapped under the wreckage and had to be flown by a medical helicopter to University Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. The driver of the Mitsubishi as well as a second passenger in the Explorer was taken by ambulance to the hospital emergency room for treatment and evaluation. At this point police believe alcohol may have been a factor in the crash. This accident underscores the importance of proceeding cautiously through intersections, even when you believe that you have the right of way. Most intersection accidents that I have seen could have been avoided by looking both ways as one enters an intersection.
Joe Lowe, a 56-year-old Louisville man who was apparently crossing Jefferson Street near 15th Street in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky when he was hit Saturday night by an unidentified car. He was transported to University Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky where he apparently died while in surgery from multiple blunt-force injuries he suffered in the auto accident. The exact details of the crash were not available as of Sunday. The coroner's office is looking for Lowe's next of kin. If you have any information that would be helpful please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department. As gas prices continue to ris more and more people will be walking or riding bicycles to get to their destinations. Please use extra caution in areas where pedestrians may be, especially around the twilight hours.
