LPD: Driver & children not hurt after car went over retaining wall

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ)- Police say a woman and two children were not hurt Tuesday night when the car they were in landed upright against a retaining wall.

It happened just before 6:45 in front of the Wendy’s and KFC restaurants off of Man o War Boulevard in Hamburg. Police say the woman was trying to back out of the parking lot. They say she thought the car was in reverse, when it was actually in drive.
