Part of Highway 54 in Whitesville was closed Friday (12/22) after an accident involving a semi and has since been reopened.
The truck was carrying crushed cars and left the road. It took out a power pole and came to a stop beside the front porch of Ellis Ralph’s home. Authorities said fuel was also leaking from the semi. Ralph said no one was hurt inside the home. The driver was taken to the hospital for his injuries.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, a large amount of diesel fuel required cleanup on Saturday (12/23). Crews had to remove the downed power lines before two wreckers were able to pull the semi from the yard.
All lanes of the road around 12:15 pm Saturday.
