One person is dead after a semi truck overturned and caught fire just before 12:30 p.m. Monday, just south of the Kennedy Bridge.
According to Aaron Ellis, a spokesman for the Louisville Metro Police Department, a commercial tractor trailer was traveling southbound on I-65, when the driver lost control and the truck jackknifed, rolled over and caught fire.
The impact caused a portion of the cab to go over the side of the retaining wall, causing debris to fall onto the roadway below.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
No one else was in the vehicle, according to Ellis.
All southbound lanes of I-65 and the roadway underneath the crash scene reopened about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, according to MetroSafe.
