A Henderson man is dead following Wednesday night’s crash on U.S. 41.
The Henderson Police Department says in a news release that a southbound pickup truck driven by 23-year-old Alexander Knoebel collided with another pickup on the Henderson Strip near Barret Blvd at about 6:10 Wednesday night.
Knoebel’s truck then slid into the northbound lanes and collided with a FedEx semi.
Police say there was no way the semi could avoid striking Knoebel’s truck or for Knoebel to avoid the collision.
The crash sent the semi onto the Thornton’s convenience store property.
Henderson County Coroner Bruce Farmer said Knoebel died of his injuries.
No one else was injured and no charges have been filed.
All lanes of the Henderson Strip between Barret Blvd and the 41/60 Cloverleaf were closed for seven hours as investigators reconstructed the accident.
