I-65 Deadliest In KY
KENTUCKY...
A 50-mile stretch of Interstate 65 in Kentucky has been the scene of several deadly high-profile crashes, including a recent one that killed 11 people. Statistically, the section of interstate between Elizabethtown and the Louie B. Nunn Parkway may be deadly, but it's not the worst area for crashes. Between 2,300 and 2,700 wrecks have happened on Interstate 75 annually since 2003, compared to about 2,000 along I-65. Kentucky State Police data shows more fatal wrecks on I-65 than any other interstate in Kentucky, with 20 to 25 each year. State police figures put about half of those wrecks in the 50-mile stretch of 2-lane interstate between Cave City and Elizabethtown.
