Overview
- A two‑vehicle crash on I‑65 southbound near the 87‑mile marker caused one car to run off the right shoulder, overturn multiple times and begin to smoke before the rescue.
- Trooper Blaine Miller, already nearby, smashed the front windshield, crawled inside and removed four family members as the vehicle was starting to catch fire.
- Kentucky State Police said their preliminary probe found a southbound tractor‑trailer driven by Steven Hawkins merged into the right lane and forced the car driven by Savannah Bloom off the road.
- The four occupants—Samantha Bloom, 28; Joshua Bloom, 22; Sarah Bloom, 26; and Savannah Bloom, 24—sustained only minor injuries, were taken to a nearby hospital and have since been released.
- Multiple local fire and emergency agencies assisted at the scene and KSP continues its investigation to confirm final cause and determine whether any citations or charges will follow.
