Good morning, Bowling Green.

A head-on collision occurred Saturday evening on I-65 near mile marker 15 when a 1998 Cadillac driven by Garland Johnson (80) struck a 2017 Jaguar operated by Mesa Reinier (36), with Johnson pronounced dead at the scene and Reinier airlifted to a Nashville hospital.

The Daily News revisited its three-part series on the 1948 murders at Murder Mansion — the series and follow-up book continue to draw interest from local true crime readers and clubs with an upcoming discussion at Lexington Public Library.

The paper also introduced a new design that received positive reviews on Wednesday — minor issues remain as editors work to refine the update.

Downtown Bowling Green was in decline until the TIF district spurred nearly $450 million in investments since 2008 that turned many old spaces into new local projects—like Bowling Green Ballpark—and will run until 2037.

This effort has reshaped the downtown area into a more vibrant community.

Johnny’s Red Storm, co-owned by John Cronin Jr. and Rick Pitino and ridden by Frankie Dettori, won the $1 million Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint yesterday — the colt led the race from start to finish and finished two lengths ahead of Obliteration.

At Kentucky Downs in Franklin on August 31, trainer Rodolphe Brisset’s filly Meringue won a four-horse photo finish in the $1 million Juvenile Fillies race—jockey Luan Machado stayed on to secure a head victory over Red Beretta.

Meringue earned $586,750 and showed promise on both turf and dirt for upcoming races.
