An Elizabethtown man is dead and the U.S. 31W Bypass was shut down in both directions Friday morning after a single-vehicle crash near the interchange with Western Kentucky Parkway.

The crash, which happened at 7:49 a.m., involved a truck from SRM Concrete which was traveling north on the bypass. It left the road and impacted a guardrail before striking a large concrete support for overhead directional signs causing it to collapse.

Dillon Pulaski, 26, of Elizabethtown, who was driving the vehicle, was dead at the scene, Elizabethtown Police Department spokesman Chris Denham said.

Traffic was blocked in both directions and drivers were not able to access the Western Kentucky Parkway or New Glendale Road from the bypass. The roadway was closed for more than seven hours.

Elizabethtown Police, Elizabethtown Fire, Kentucky State Police, Hardin County Emergency Management and Hardin County EMS responded to the collision.

The crash is under investigation by the EPD crash reconstruction team.
