Driver injured when tanker truck overturns

A Fort Campbell tanker truck overturned on Palmyra Road Thursday afternoon, sending the driver to the hospital.

It happened a little after noon and the collision report from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office says Daniel Johnston of Pennsylvania had been headed south in the Army tanker when he said he met a grain truck that came into his lane.

Johnston went off the right side of the road to avoid a collision and his truck overturned when the load shifted, according to the report.

Johnston was taken by private vehicle to Blanchfield Army Community Hospital for treatment of injuries.
