The Kentucky State Police (KSP) are investigating several collisions that occurred Wednesday night due to ice buildup on the Tennessee River Bridge on Interstate 24 in Marshall County. An 18-month old child died in one of those collisions.

According to a KSP report, while a trooper was on scene investigating a different accident, five additional accidents occurred in the vicinity. Seven total collisions were reported involving 12 tractor-trailers and six passenger cars.

The report went on to say that one of these collisions was the result of a 2022 Freightliner truck pulling a 2006 Wabash semi-trailer rear-ending a 2003 Freightliner truck pulling a 2011 Wabash semi-trailer.

An 18-month-old passenger in the first tractor-trailer was ejected from the truck during the collision and then struck by a 2008 BMW 535. The Marshall County Coroner declared the child deceased at the scene. The child reportedly was not secured in a car seat at the time of the collision. Once the investigation into the collision is complete, it will be presented to a prosecutor for decisions regarding any potential criminal charges.
