A stretch of I-75 in Lexington was shut down Sunday night after an 84-year-old man caused a crash by driving the wrong way. That man, Thomas Mollencop (Moll-en-cop), of Lexington, died at the scene, according to the Fayette County Coroner’s Office. Lori Weaver Hawkins, public affairs manager for AAA-Blue Grass, said wrong-way driving happens more often than many think.
“And a lot of times, you know, there are not only does the driver end up getting killed, but others on the roadway as well. So it's a very dangerous problem.”
