Graves County garbage truck collision leaves one injured

A two-vehicle accident involving a garbage truck on Friday left one person injured.

Graves County deputies responded to the accident on KY 303, where they learned 79-year-old Judy Howard of Mayfield didn't see a garbage truck that was stopped to pick up a resident's trash.

Howard attempted to avoid the truck, but wasn't able to respond in time.

Howard had some cuts and bruises, but was able to walk away with non-life-threatening injuries. The garbage truck driver, 46-year-old Ricky Turnbow, also of Mayfield, was not injured and able to continue working, as his garbage truck only had minor damage.

The road was shut down for about an hour and a half while the accident was cleared.
