LOUISVILLE
SMALL PLANE HITS FENCE; PILOT HURT
A small plane crashed in a Louisville neighborhood Wednesday, near Interstate 64, 2 miles from the airport where it had taken off. Louisville Fire Chief Greg Frederick said the plane took off from Bowman Field and lost power at about 9:40 a.m. The pilot radioed the airport, which then notified emergency officials, Frederick said. A few minutes later, emergency officials received a 911 call directing them to the neighborhood where the plane crashed, Frederick said. The plane clipped several trees, flipped over and landed upside-down on a fence between two back yards, Frederick said. No one on the ground was hurt and no houses or power lines were hit, Frederick said. Frederick said the only person in the plane was the pilot, who was injured and taken to a hospital. Frederick did not release the name of the pilot.

REPAIRS SET FOR NEW CIRCLE
The inner loop of New Circle Road near the Versailles Road interchange will be reduced to one lane during the upcoming weekend because of bridge deck surface repair work where New Circle Road crosses over Versailles Road, the state Transportation Cabinet announced. The project will also require closing the ramp from the inner loop of New Circle Road to outbound Versailles Road and the ramp from inbound Versailles Road to the inner loop of New Circle Road. The work will be done between 8 p.m. Friday and 5 a.m. Monday. Motorists should expect delays during this time. An additional three weekends are expected to be required to complete the $641,681 project. Those weekend work periods have not yet been scheduled.
