Officials have released the name of the woman killed in a fiery crash along I-64 in Shelby County Wednesday, and charged the driver of a truck in connection with the accident.
Police say the driver of the tractor-trailer failed to slow down for traffic backed up due to a disabled vehicle along the side of the interstate, and crashed into the rear of a Chevrolet HHR. The crash started a chain reaction involving three more vehicles. The HHR burst into flames due to the force of the impact.
The coroner declared Doris Wise, 71, of Louisville, dead at the scene. She was the driver of the HHR.
Three other people were treated and released at Jewish Hospital in Shelbyville.
