A semi tractor trailer driver was injured around midnight on I-64 East just west of Frankfort. Kentucky State Police say it appears a truck driver may have fallen asleep at the wheel, went off the shoulder of the road, and flipped over near the 48 mile marker. He was hauling canned goods, some of which spilled out onto the interstate when the trailer over turned. The east bound side was closed for hours overnight, while crews worked to free the trapped driver. That truck driver was eventually airlifted to UK Chandler Hospital. His name has not been released, but police say his injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.
