Tuesday morning saw the closure of Kentucky Highway 643 in Lincoln County as the result of a tanker truck overturning and spilling propane.
The crash was reported to have occurred near the intersection with Kentucky Highway 1781.
KSP Officer Hutti states that it appears that the right side rear-end of the truck left the roadway and hit a ditch which caused the truck to overturn.
Kentucky State Police, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department, and HAZMAT officials were at the scene.
The driver of the truck was transported to a nearby hospital, and officials say the roadway is now reopened.
