A 38 year-old driver caused a three-car accident Monday night after he tried to pass the vehicle in front of him by crossing through the lane of oncoming traffic. The driver hit an approaching semi-truck and the car he was trying to pass.

The collision occurred in Jeffersonville, about 45 miles east of Lexington. The driver was taken to University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition. He suffered head trauma and leg injuries. The drivers in the other vehicles did not require medical attention.

According to the Jeffersonville Police Department, the man’s toxicology results will be subpoenaed in order to determine whether or not he was under the influence before the wreck.
