Wow! The cause of this wreck was a newly purchased electric car running out of juice in the middle of the bridge.

I look behind and I see the semi’: Driver says her electric car stalled on Clark Memorial Bridge moments before collision

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — She's the driver whose car stalled on the Clark Memorial Bridge Friday, moments before a multi-car collision sent a Sysco semi over the edge.

"Emotionally, I'm not well," Glenna Hess said. "Physically, I'm fine."

The Louisville resident said she was driving an electric car she'd bought the day before at a local Carvana. She said, almost immediately, it was showing signs of problems.

"I’ve driven electric cars for 10 years. I was noticing there was fluctuation in the electrical system. The power would be at 90% then to 80. As I was coming back from Jeffersonville, it said I had a 24-mile range, which was fine," Hess said. "I just wanted to get across the bridge and call AAA. I was going to take it back to Carvana."

Hess didn't make it off the bridge.

"The motor just came to a dead stop on the 2nd Street Bridge," she said.

"I had blinkers on, called AAA, who alerted police. Everyone was fine. They saw the blinkers until of course, somebody didn't," Hess said. "And then that set off the string of events that led to everything that happened on Friday at 12 o'clock."...
