Truck Driver Hurt in Old Mayfield Road Wreck

A Paducah man was injured in a dump truck accident Friday.

According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Department, 29-year-old Shawn Roach was driving a dump truck in the 9000 block of Old Mayfield Road about 8:45 am. As he approached the crest of a hill, he met another vehicle and the truck's wheels dropped off the right side of the road. Roach over-corrected and the truck rolled onto its side in the opposite lane of the road.

Roach was treated at the scene by Mercy EMS, and then taken to an area hospital.

The road was restricted to one lane for about two hours while the truck was removed and the wreck was investigated.
