LMPD interim chief gets in crash after woman experiences medical emergency

Louisville Metro Police Interim Chief Paul Humphrey was involved in a car crash Monday after a driver experienced a medical emergency.

Around 4:50 p.m., LMPD's Fourth Division responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash at Seventh Street and Algonquin Parkway, department spokesperson Aaron Ellis said. When officers arrived, they found an accident involving a pickup truck with a woman and an unmarked LMPD Tahoe driven by Humphrey.

According to a preliminary investigation, the woman was traveling north on Seventh Street and entered the intersection at Algonquin Parkway after experiencing a "medical emergency," Ellis said. She struck Humphrey's vehicle head-on, which was southbound on Seventh waiting to turn eastbound onto Algonquin Parkway.

Humphrey, who was not injured in the crash, offered aid until medical services arrived and she was transported to Norton Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The accident remains under investigation.
