CAMPBELL CO., Ky. -- The AA Highway in Northern Kentucky is back open after an early morning crash seriously injured one person.
According to Campbell County officials, a semi truck and two other vehicles were involved in a crash on the highway around 7:05 a.m. Tuesday.
The two vehicles reportedly couldn't see the semi turning left due to the heavy fog in the area at the time. Both vehicles crashed into the side of the truck and became wedged underneath.
Officials say one of the drivers was taken by ambulance to University Hospital with life-threatening injuries. A medical helicopter was not able to fly to the scene because of the fog. The victim's name and condition have not been released.
The AA Highway was closed in both directions at Ivor Road because the semi was blocking four lanes.
Crews had to use a crane to try to lift the semi in order to remove the cars from the wreckage.
Officials say alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the accident.
The accident remains under investigation.
