Lextran Bus Collides with Building After Wrong-Way Driver Causes Accident in Lexington

Lexington, Ky. — In the early hours of Friday, just after midnight, a Lextran bus was involved in a collision that resulted in the bus striking a nearby building at the intersection of West Main and North Broadway.

Authorities, including emergency responders from the Lexington police and fire departments, arrived promptly at the scene of the accident. Both drivers, from the bus and the wayward vehicle, were transported to an area hospital. Thankfully, their injuries were classified as non-life-threatening.

The building that the bus struck was assessed by officials, who reported no critical damage. The specific nature of the building’s structure remains unclear, but initial assessments suggest it withstood the impact without requiring immediate extensive repairs or evacuation.

The circumstances surrounding why the vehicle was traveling in the wrong lane remain under investigation. Lexington police are expected to review evidence and witness accounts to determine the chain of events leading up to the crash.

This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of roadway navigation and traffic law adherence in urban settings. As authorities continue their investigation, they urge drivers to remain vigilant and obey posted traffic regulations to prevent future accidents.
