Bowling Green, KY (January 18, 2026) – Early on Friday morning, emergency responders were dispatched to a motor vehicle accident with injuries near Chapel Hill Cemetery in the Alvaton area. The crash occurred around 4:48 a.m. on January 16 along Scottsville Rd, near the cross streets of Old Mound Pleasant School Rd and Boyce Fairview Rd.
Alvaton fire and medical units responded promptly to the scene and provided care to those injured. Although the exact number of people hurt has not been confirmed, the nature of the call indicated that at least one individual required medical attention following the collision.
This stretch of Scottsville Rd runs through a semi-rural area south of Bowling Green and is known for sharp curves, low visibility during early morning hours, and high-speed travel, all of which can contribute to accidents.

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash. No official statements have been released regarding contributing factors or possible citations. Our thoughts are with those injured as they begin the recovery process.
