KY 181 was closed north of Elkton for about an hour and a half Thursday morning after a pickup ran off the road and struck a natural gas regulator.

It happened about 8:45 a.m. between Blue and Gray Park Road and Sharon Grove Road and Todd County Emergency Management Director Daniel Smith says the driver of the truck was not injured.

Personnel from Atmos Energy went to the scene to repair the damage and the roadway reopened shortly after 10 a.m.
