Three Kentucky Truck Accidents Result in Injuries

Last week was a busy week for large truck crashes in Kentucky.  Semi truck accidents are commonplace on Kentucky roads and highways and these large vehicles are to blame for many accidents.

In Oak Grove, a woman was critically injured after her car crashed underneath a tractor-trailer on Interstate 24.  Christy Muscar, 30, of Caldwell County was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Hospital on Sunday night, February 22, 2009.

Muscar had been traveling west on Interstate 24 when she crossed the median near the Oak Grove exit.  The driver of an oncoming tractor-trailer was not able to avoid the collision and was not hurt.  Muscar was listed in critical condition, but no other details have been given regarding the accident or her status.

In Laurel County, three people were injured following an accident with a semi truck on Interstate 75.  According to Kentucky State Police, the semi truck accident took place in the early morning hours in Corbin, sending the three injured to the hospital.  There have been very few details released regarding the semi truck crash, including updates regarding the conditions of the accident victims.

Another recent truck accident injured a Kentucky man.  He was driving an 18-wheeler when his vehicle left Highway 82 South and rolled over.  Andrew Roberts of Louisville was hauling a tanker of ethyl alcohol when his 18-wheeler rolled over.  Scott Johnson, the director of Bedford County Emergency Management Agency, said that there was a small leak from the tanker, but it posed “no problem at all.”  Roberts’ condition was not released.
