A driver in Nicholasville is in critical condition after being involved in a serious car accident Monday evening, according to Sam Wade with the Nicholasville Police Department.
Nicholasville police said the accident took place at roughly 8:15 p.m. Monday at the intersection U.S. 27 and Elizabeth Drive. A driver in a passenger car was traveling towards the intersection and rear-ended a dump truck just after it started going forward after stopping at a red light, according to Wade.

The road was closed so a collision reconstruction team could investigate the scene. Police said it reopened at 10:37 p.m.
