A man has been killed in a crossover crash in Hardin County.

Kentucky State Police said troopers were dispatched to the two-vehicle crash Wednesday night at approximately 11:00 on I-65 near Elizabethtown.

The preliminary investigation, state police said, showed a 2016 Lexus, being driven by 50-year-old Jeffrey Simonton, of Clarksville, Tennessee, was traveling north in the southbound lanes when he struck head-on a southbound 2019 Volvo tractor-trailer, being driven by 46-year-old Alexsandar Bojov, of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Simonton was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Hardin County Coroner’s Office. Bojov was transported to University of Louisville Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
