GRAVES COUNTY, Ky., (KBSI) — One man was killed in a two-vehicle crash involving concrete trucks Monday morning on Kentucky Highway 94, according to the Graves County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash was reported around 7:20 a.m. just east of the intersection with Kentucky Highway 564.
Authorities said two concrete mixer trucks traveling in opposite directions collided, causing both drivers to lose control. One truck overturned in a field, while the other overturned into a creek.
One driver, Conner A. Paschall, 24, of Hazel, Kentucky, suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment at the scene.
The second driver, Jeremiah A. Smith, 48, of Eddyville, Kentucky, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Graves County coroner after his truck was found overturned in a creek.
Emergency crews from multiple agencies responded, including the Cuba and Sedalia fire departments, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Kentucky State Police and Mayfield Fire and EMS. Authorities also assisted with next-of-kin notifications.
Officials said recovery and removal of the trucks took most of the day, and the roadway remained closed as of Monday afternoon.
The crash remains under investigation.
