All lanes of Man o’ War Boulevard were closed because of a serious three-vehicle crash at Mount McKinley Way in Lexington Tuesday night.

Four people were sent to a hospital.

The Lexington Police Department was called to the scene at about 6 p.m., said Lt. Brandon Helm.

Crews extricated two patients with serious injuries, according to a Lexington Fire Department spokesperson. Four ambulances responded to the scene.

Helm said one of the people who was taken to the hospital had life-threatening injuries.

As of about 8 p.m., traffic was being routed off Man o’ War at Pimlico Parkway and Mout McKinley Way, he said.
