TRIGG COUNTY, Ky. — An overturned semi-truck caused some traffic issues in western Kentucky.
The semi overturned on I-24 West at the 61 mile marker in Trigg County. It's just west of the U.S. 68 Cadiz Exit 65 interchange.
Officials said the truck was carrying a load of potato chips.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Department District 1, the semi overturned due to strong winds as a powerful storm system rolled through Kentucky on Friday.
"The truck is off on the shoulder at this time," KYTC District 1 said.
Transportation officials said although westbound traffic has slowed at the location, it is still moving. There is no impact to I-24 eastbound traffic.
KYTC said westbound lanes may need to be closed at some point to recover the truck.
