Bowling Green, KY (September 14, 2025) – A crash involving injuries and a disabled vehicle caused traffic disruption on the I-65 North overpass near Wisconsin Rd early Saturday morning. The incident was reported at approximately 1:24 a.m. and involved a 2014 Jeep Cherokee that had come to a stop with flashers on, possibly due to debris or obstruction in the roadway.
First responders from Bowling Green Fire and Rescue arrived quickly at the scene to assist those injured in the collision. Paramedics assessed and treated individuals suffering from a range of injuries, and additional medical care was coordinated as needed. According to audio traffic from Bowling Green Police, the crash scene included a potential hazard—a car jack or similar object—located in the middle of the road, which may have contributed to the crash or worsened its aftermath.
The overpass was temporarily closed to allow emergency crews to aid the victims and clear the roadway. It is not yet confirmed how many people were injured or the severity of their conditions. However, given the early morning timing and location on a major interstate connector, the incident posed significant safety concerns for both the involved motorists and responders.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash, including whether the Jeep struck road debris before or after the collision.
We extend our deepest thoughts to all individuals impacted by this crash and hope for a complete recovery for the injured.
Interstate Accidents in Kentucky
Collisions on major highways like I-65 can be especially dangerous due to high speeds and limited reaction time. The crash involving a Jeep Cherokee on the I-65 overpass near Wisconsin Rd highlights the compounded risks that come with late-night travel, unexpected roadway obstructions, and vehicle malfunctions. When a disabled vehicle blocks part of a high-speed route, it creates a perilous situation not only for those involved in the crash but also for other drivers approaching unaware.
Early morning hours often bring reduced visibility, fatigue, and fewer vehicles on the road—all conditions that can both reduce situational awareness and delay emergency response. In this case, the reported presence of a car jack or object in the roadway adds another layer to the investigation. Whether this was the initial cause or a result of the crash, debris on roadways remains a serious hazard across Kentucky’s interstates.
Highway collisions frequently result in severe injuries, especially when vehicles are stopped or disabled on active lanes. Victims often face complex recoveries that include emergency medical care, physical therapy, lost wages, and emotional strain. Interstate crashes may also involve additional complexities such as multi-agency jurisdiction, insurance disputes, and ongoing traffic hazards.
Local and state authorities work continually to reduce risk through surveillance, improved lighting, and public awareness campaigns, but collisions like this one show that hazards can appear at any time—especially when drivers are least expecting them.
