WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18)– Interstate 75 was shutdown in both directions following a semi fire Thursday morning.
It happened around 5 a.m. near the Tennessee border.
Officials say construction was going on, causing the road to be narrow, when a semi hit the site, toppled over, and caused a fuel spill.
The truck driver is okay, and no one else is hurt.
NB lanes are open, but traffic in SB lanes still causing headaches for drivers. They're being rerouted off exit 11- lanes are shutdown from 11 to state line @KYTCDistrict11. Cleanup of fuel spill is underway. Good news- Driver in truck that toppled over is okay. @LEX18News pic.twitter.com/m38NPKhHWi
