LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A death investigation is currently underway after a woman involved in a crash near Tyler Park died at the hospital on Wednesday evening, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD).
At approximately 7:20 p.m., officers responded to reports of a crash at the intersection of Tyler Park Drive and Baxter Avenue, located in the Tyler Park neighborhood of Louisville.
