A man was taken to UK Hospital with life-threatening injuries after he was hit by an SUV on New Circle Road in Lexington Tuesday night.
Police have since shut down the outer loop of New Circle between Golden Way and Old Paris Pike and expect that portion of the road to be closed until midnight, while the crash reconstruction team finishes their investigation.
Police say around 8:30 p.m. the driver of an SUV collided with a man on the outer loop. When emergency crews arrived, the man was lying in the middle of the road. He was taken to UK Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver was not injured and stayed on the scene to help with the investigation.

“At this point, it appears the person was attempting to cross New Circle Road. We’re not 100% sure which direction, they were in the middle of the outer loop,” said Lt. Chris Young with Lexington Police.
Police say it’s too soon in the investigation to determine if anyone will be charged.
