A driver has died following Thursday’s 2:30 a.m. wrong-way crash on I-65 North near the Vietnam Veterans Boulevard exit. Roger Roland, 54, of Lawrenceburg, was driving his Ford Ranger pickup truck south in the northbound lanes when he struck a semi head-on. Roland died at the scene. The 50-year-old driver of the semi was transported to Skyline Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. A wheel from the Ranger came off in the crash, bounced over the retaining wall, and struck a Goodlettsville Police officer’s vehicle. The officer safely stopped and was not injured. A blood sample from Roland will be tested to determine if impairment was a factor in this fatal crash.
