Bowling Green,KY : State police to do collision analysis on I-65 on July, Thursday 13th 2017

The Kentucky State Police accident reconstruction team will be working periodically this week at the site of the Thursday-night collision on northbound Interstate 65 that resulted in six deaths.

Trooper Jeremy Hodges, spokesman for Kentucky State Police Post 3 in Bowling Green, said the team will be doing collision analysis at the site near the new Exit 30 interchange.

“They will be taking photos and doing more measurements that they couldn’t get the other night when it was dark,” said Hodges. “Folks need to be careful driving through there around the 30-mile mark northbound.”

Hodges said the northbound lanes in that area may have to be shut down temporarily.

Two passenger vehicles and two semi-trucks were involved in the wreck that occurred just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday on northbound I-65 just north of Exit 30 – the recently opened interchange that connects the interstate to the nearby Kentucky Transpark.

Members of the Boster family of Beech Grove, Ind. – who were traveling in a 2007 Hyundai ENT van, according to KSP – were confirmed as four of the victims Friday by Warren County Coroner Kevin Kirby and by KSP.

Lonny D. Boster, 59; his wife, Jonell Boster, 48; and their sons Lonny D. Boster Jr., 30, of Indianapolis, and Carl Boster, 17; were killed in the crash, as was family friend Robert Hogan, 74.

They were a few hours from home after a Florida vacation, according to longtime family friend Lisa Sommerville of Southport, Ind.
