Woodford County, Ky. – The Woodford County Coroner has released the identities of the three people who tragically lost their lives in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 64 Friday evening.
The victims have been identified as:
- Casey Whitlock, 50, of Paris
- Matthew Jackson, 43, of Cincinnati, Ohio
- John McBroom, 39, of Crittenden
According to Kentucky State Police, the crash occurred near the interstate rest stops and involved four tractor-trailers and two passenger vehicles. Investigators say two of the tractor-trailer drivers and one occupant of a passenger vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.
In addition to the three fatalities, three other individuals were hospitalized with injuries. Their conditions have not yet been released.
The crash caused hours-long closures in both directions of I-64, with westbound lanes shut down well into Friday night as emergency crews cleared the scene. All lanes have since reopened.
The Kentucky State Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
