Tuesday’s incident at Tates Creek Rd and Cooper Dr adds to a concerning pattern of crashes in Lexington’s high-volume intersections. According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, intersections in urban areas like Lexington account for a significant portion of the state’s injury-related crashes. Tates Creek Rd in particular serves as a primary route between downtown and southern neighborhoods, making it a common site for collisions during both morning and evening rush hours.
