Paducah Crash Injures Eddyville Man

The picture attached to this story isn't upside down, but it does show how slick the roads have been Tuesday.  A crash just before 7 am Tuesday on I-24 injured one person from Eddyville.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Department, deputies responded to a report of a single vehicle, roll-over accident on I-24 west bound near the 14 mile marker.  James O. Oliver, 43 of Eddyville, was driving a pick-up truck in the westbound lanes of I-24, when the slippery roads caused him to lose control of the vehicle, striking a concrete bridge wall. 

Deputies say Oliver's vehicle then crossed back over the west bound lanes and struck a guardrail, causing the vehicle to overturn. The vehicle rolled onto its top, coming to rest partially blocking the inside lane of I-24 west bound.

Oliver was transported to Lourdes Hospital for treatment of injuries. The westbound lanes of I-24 were reduced to one lane of travel for nearly two hours.
