LOUISVILLE, KY. (WHAS11)

A woman was killed along Interstate 65 Tuesday morning, June 9, after a crash near the Brooks exit.

Police said the accident happened around 2 a.m. when a Dodge Challenger rear-ended a Ford van.

Lt. Murdoch, with the Bullitt County Sheriff's Office, said the crash appears to have been caused by a female who fell asleep at the wheel or who was talking on her phone. That female was driving the Dodge Challenger.

Murdoch said she rear ended a maroon Ford van, causing it to lose control and strike an earthen embankment.

Police said the female driver of the van was killed. Murdoch said she was 58-years-old. The two people in the Challenger were not injured.

Murdoch said the female driver of the Challenger is not facing any charges because there are no immediate signs of drugs or alcohol being involved.

The investigation is ongoing.
