Updated: Lexington road reopened after two-vehicle collision, police say

A two-vehicle crash left one person injured and caused a Lexington road to close Wednesday morning.

The collision happened in the area of Parkers Mill Road and Frogtown Lane near the County line Wednesday morning, according to the traffic management center. A pickup truck collided with a jeep before striking a tree, according to Lt. Daniel Truex with the Lexington Police Department.

The driver of the truck was sent to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Truex said. The driver of the jeep was uninjured.

The collision reconstruction unit was initially called to the scene, but they didn’t remain involved in the investigation once the significance of the injuries was determined to be minor, according to Truex.

The crash was still under investigation later Wednesday morning.

The road was shut down at one point but it has since reopened, according to Truex.
