A man was killed in a tractor-trailer crash near the 86-mile-marker of I-24 in Christian County Tuesday morning.
It happened at approximately 8:15 a.m. when a semi-truck overturned while getting onto I-24 westbound, and Hopkinsville Fire Department and EMS Captain Payton Rogers says once crews arrived on scene, they immediately called for the Christian County Coroner, who declared the adult male driver deceased at scene.
Coroner Scott Daniel has since identified the victim as 44-year-old Valeros Sanders of Smyrna, Tennessee.
The roadway will likely remain closed for some time as debris is cleaned up.
