ELIZABETHTOWN (KY) — One person was killed after an wreck on I-65 Northbound Monday morning. Kentucky State Police say a Chevy Malibu, driven by Kayla Jones, struck the cable barrier. That led to a semi swerving to avoid the car, sideswiping another semi in the process. A passerby, Elizabethtown resident Michael Fizer, stopped to assist Jones.
Jones was taken to University of Louisville Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The roadway was shut down for around 7 hours as crews and police worked to gather information and clear the scene. No other details have been released.
Some surprising news was announced yesterday, as Bluegrass Cellular is being purchased. It was made public Monday that cellular giant Verizon had entered into an agreement to purchase Bluegrass Cellular. Executives say the purchase will help Bluegrass customers stay connected in the rural communities they serve.
The purchase price has not been disclosed. Bluegrass serves approximately 210 thousand customers across 34 counties in Kentucky. The agreement is still subject to approval from the FCC.
