At least two people were injured after a car reportedly struck a natural gas line as it crashed into an East End apartment complex, causing a large fire Dec. 16.
A MetroSafe spokesperson said the fire was reported at the Rolling Hills apartment complex, located near Westport Plaza, at around 4:07 p.m. In a Louisville Metro Police news release, spokesperson Matthew Sanders said at that time, officers responded to a reported injury accident at the intersection of Westport Road and Langdon Drive.
Sanders said preliminary investigation shows that two vehicles, one black Genesis SUV and one blue Nissan sedan, “collided in a T-bone fashion within the intersection,” causing the Genesis to leave the road, hitting the gas line before crashing into the apartment building.
Officers immediately entered the building to evacuate residents, Sanders said. The driver of the Genesis was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries and the Nissan driver was treated at the scene. Sanders said there are no other reported injuries, including among residents.
While the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, no charges are expected, Sanders added.
