Bowling Green, KY (May 12, 2025) – A late-night crash occurred Sunday near the entrance of the Walmart located at the intersection of Walton Avenue and Campbell Lane, resulting in reported injuries and significant concern as two children were found inside one of the vehicles involved, visibly distressed and crying.
The crash took place just before 11:15 p.m. in the parking lot access area, where traffic from Campbell Ln meets one of Bowling Green’s busiest retail zones. Witnesses at the scene reported that both vehicles sustained noticeable damage. Emergency medical services arrived quickly to assess everyone involved, focusing particular attention on the children who were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
Though injury details remain unclear, responders provided care at the scene and evaluated whether transport was necessary.

Retail Zone Collisions in Kentucky
Crashes near commercial entrances like Walton Ave and Campbell Ln are increasingly common in Bowling Green, where shopping plazas attract high traffic volumes, especially during evening hours. The combination of turning traffic, variable lighting, and driver impatience often contributes to these incidents.
Parking lot entrances pose a unique hazard, particularly for families with children in tow. With cars maneuvering in and out of lots while others navigate signal changes on busy roads like Campbell Ln, the risk of a misjudged turn or rear-end collision is significantly heightened. Even low-speed crashes in these zones can result in physical injuries and lasting emotional trauma—especially for younger passengers.
In this incident, responders’ attention to the two children underscores the importance of child passenger safety and timely medical assessment. These experiences can leave lasting impressions, even when physical injuries are minor. It’s essential for families involved in such crashes to not only seek medical care but also emotional reassurance for their children.
