Fatal Rear-End Collision on I-65 in Hardin County: Why This Tragic Truck Accident Demands Immediate Legal Action A Life Cut Short on Kentucky’s Highways The morning of February 16, 2026, started like any other for Drew Cookenmaster. The 29-year-old from Hodgenville was driving northbound on Interstate 65 near Lebanon Junction, Kentucky—just another commuter on one of America’s busiest freight corridors. But at approximately 9:46 a.m., his life ended in an instant when his blue Hyundai Elantra struck the rear of a northbound tractor-trailer operated by Shakisha Brewington, a 52-year-old truck driver from Schertz, Texas. The Kentucky State Police (KSP) investigation revealed a chilling sequence of events: traffic had slowed due to a previous collision near the 106-mile marker. Cookenmaster, unable to stop in time, collided with the rear of Brewington’s trailer. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Hardin County Coroner. The truck driver walked away uninjured. The northbound lanes of I-65 at the Joe Prather exit were closed for three hours while troopers reconstructed the collision. The investigation remains ongoing, led by Trooper Scott Wheatley.
