One other person involved in the crash mishap was also taken to the hospital. According to Louisville Fire Chief Brian O’Neill, the three vehicle crash on the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge was reported around noon and the operation went smoothly because of firefighters’ training.
“There were some serious heroes here,” This was some really professional, well-practiced, well-trained stuff. They got right out there, got right to her,” he said.
