West Paducah Teen Crashes Truck into Tree

A West Paducah teen was hurt Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash.

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office says deputies responded to the 3700 block of Husband Road, where 19-year-old Joseph Hay of West Paducah was trapped in a pickup truck.

Deputies said Hay was traveling north on Husband Road when he fell asleep and veered off the roadway. Hay hit a barbed wire fence before hitting a large tree.

Responders were able to free Hay from the wreckage after about 30 minutes. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
