Fiery Semi Truck Wreck in Kentucky

Henderson County, Kentucky.  The Pennyrile Parkway is open again after a fiery semi truck accident late Monday night.  According to the Henderson County Sheriff's Office, the accident happened just after 10:30 p.m. Monday near the Kentucky-425 exit.  The truck driver operating involved in the one-vehicle accident is said to be from Michigan, and was heading towards Henderson when his semi-truck drifted off the road.  The driver was reported to have overcorrected and, as a result, the truck flipped over onto its side.

Deputies reported the driver was able to jump out of the truck just before it went up in flames.  The driver was treated for minor injuries at the scene.  Authorities were forced to shut down the northbound lanes of the Pennyrile for nearly six hours in order to clean up the mess.  At one point, both the north and southbound lanes were closed.  All lanes of traffic reopened Tuesday morning.  Investigators are still looking into what caused the driver to swerve off the road.  It is fortunate no other cars or persons were involved in the wreck, and the driver of the semi-truck was especially lucky.  Although Kentuckians were made to endure traffic issues for more than eight hours, we are happy to report there was no fatality involving the truck wreck.  If you or someone you know was not as fortunate to escape a truck wreck without harm or injuries, you should contact the experienced and reputable lawyers of Gray and White Law immediately for your free legal consultation.  We are available to learn about your case, or your loved one's, and to answer any questions you may have.  All you have to do is contact us toll-free at 1-800-634-8767 or by e-mail at any time.
