LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A semi crash blocked all lanes on I-65 in Shepherdsville before crews cleared the roadway later in the evening.

According to Steve Schmidt with the Shepherdsville Police Department, the semi struck a retaining wall and overturned. The crash caused a diesel fuel leak that led to a fire.

Police, fire crews, and emergency management officials worked to reopen at least one lane in both the northbound and southbound directions while crews handled the crash scene. Officials initially said it could take four to six hours before all lanes reopened.

The driver was taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

As of 9:00 p.m., TRIMARC reported that all lanes had been reopened.
