A man died Tuesday afternoon after being struck by a semi-truck on I-65 in Bowling Green.
Bowling Green Police Department said dispatchers received multiple calls shortly before 3 p.m. about a man running into traffic along Cumberland Trace.
The man reportedly entered the nearby Harley-Davidson store, grabbed a woman and covered her mouth when she screamed. She bit him, and he then fled the store.
He crossed Cumberland Trace, climbed over a white fence, and ran into oncoming interstate traffic, where a semi-truck struck him. Emergency responders transported the man to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
Bowling Green Police Department Public Information Officer Ronnie Ward said the man’s identity will be withheld pending notification of next of kin. An accident reconstruction is expected.
Traffic was impacted on I-65, with one lane remaining open.
