LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Shively police are investigating after a car crashed into three people Saturday afternoon on Dixie Highway, killing a teenage girl and injuring a woman and another teen, officials said.
The crash was reported at 4:30 p.m. in the 3900 block of Dixie Highway, a commercial area near Park Road and Leroy Avenue. Shively Police Sgt. Jordan Brown said officers found that a vehicle had struck multiple pedestrians. A teenage girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said a woman in her 30s and a second teenage girl were taken to a local hospital. Their injuries were described as not life-threatening. Officials did not release the names of the victims, the driver or the type of vehicle involved in the crash.
Family members and loved ones gathered near the scene soon after the collision. People familiar with the victims said the teen who was killed lived close to where the crash happened.
