JEFFERSONVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - A Clark County man was rushed to the University of Louisville Hospital after a wrong-way collision Tuesday morning.

Trevor Adkins, 28, was driving a blue 2022 Ford Maverick truck northbound in the southbound lane of Paul Garrett Avenue in Jeffersonville when he collided head on with a semi-truck around 10 a.m., according to Indiana State Police.

The driver of the semi-truck, 57-year-old Timothy Bishop was driving southbound and veered left into the center lane to avoid hitting Adkins.

However, Adkins also turned back into the center lane, and the two vehicles collided head-on, according to the police report.

Adkins’ truck was pushed backward due to the impact of the crash.

Emergency responders removed Adkins from his vehicle and was taken to UofL Hospital with serious injuries.

Bishop was uninjured in the crash.

Officials believe alcohol played a role in the crash however, officers are awaiting toxicology reports.

He JUST got the truck too. Bought it on the 7th and crashed less than 3 weeks later.

Looks like the driver is in stable condition but according to a family member is gonna have it rough.

If you survive a head on collision with a semi, don't care what vehicle you are in (short of another semi) its nothing short of a miracle.

Mine won’t be built until Barberella crash lands on a strange and distant planet and this dude has already wrecked one? This kicks my normal grumpiness up a notch.

I don't believe the Maverick gets evasive steering assist with the Copilot360.

It does for the rich (Lariat model). This was the XL in the crash so we may never know.. Plus reading the link it says coming up on a stopped vehicle not one you are driving at.

Sad news all the way around. Congrats to the semi driver for doing his best to avoid the crash. He was really alert and thinking fast.

I see that now, thanks.

Far be it from me to wish something so horrible on anyone, but sometimes I wish idiots like this would just hit the guard rail instead of someone else... Could have been deadly for someone we love...
