Coroner identifies semi-truck driver killed in wreck on I-75 southbound in Scott County

Officials tell LEX 18 that several other crashes occurred after traffic stopped, including one involving a sheriff's deputy and an emergency management worker. The deputy says he was closing the road when he noticed a Tesla that wasn't slowing down and warned the worker.

According to officials, the deputy and emergency management worker narrowly got out of the way before the car crashed into the cruiser and smashed into the EMA trailer. The deputy was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and the driver of the vehicle that crashed suffered serious injuries.

"We owe this guy a dinner because he was flashing his flashlight at the driver, blowing the whistle, doing everything possible to try and get that other driver's attention," said emergency management director Michael Hennigan.

Hennigan said that the driver of the Tesla never applied their brakes or swerved before crashing into the emergency vehicles. The sheriff's office will investigate that crash, he said.

Was the Tesla driver on Autopilot asleep? Where was Tesla automatic emergency braking? How come despite attempts to get the drivers attention or even the cars, nothing changed?
