What Happens When Kentucky Residents Are Involved in Fatal Car Crash Across State Lines

Sometimes, fatal car accidents involving Kentucky residents can happen in other states. This can be a legal nightmare, particularly if the accident also involves a large truck.

Consider this horrific accident that killed three Kentucky residents from Bowling Green and Russellville. It happened close to the Tennessee-Kentucky line on I-65 north near mile marker 119. This crash involved two big rigs and a Nissan. The Nissan was badly damaged and all of its occupants died at the scene.

One of the 18-wheelers was heading north in the lane closest to the median. The second large truck and the Nissan were heading south. The truck then rear-ended the Nissan, sending if off of the road and into the median. That is when the 18-wheeler crashed into the Nissan’s front end, resulting in both vehicles ending up off of the road.

In a case like this, it is likely that the families of the deceased Nissan occupants would look into filing a wrongful death personal injury lawsuit.
