Traffic Disruptions in Lexington Following Serious Pedestrian Accident

Lexington experienced significant traffic disruptions on December 10 following a serious incident involving a pedestrian at the intersection of North Broadway and West Short Street. The collision resulted in all outbound lanes being closed, alongside one inbound lane, creating a delay for motorists.

According to traffic reports, emergency responders were dispatched to the scene shortly after the incident occurred. In the interim, vehicles were diverted onto Short Street, and inbound North Broadway was reduced to just one lane, contributing to the congestion in downtown Lexington.
