CARTER COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) -- For the second time in a week, a salt truck has been involved in an accident on I-64 in Carter County, Ky.
Kentucky State Police say that the latest crash happened around 1:00 p.m. Monday in the westbound lanes near mile marker 155.
Troopers say the truck was hit after the driver of a car tried to pass a semi and pulled into the path of the salt truck.
The driver of the car, a 23-year-old man from Blacksburg, Va. was hurt and taken to the UK Medical Center in Lexington.
The salt truck driver was not hurt.
Last Wednesday a vehicle rear-ended a salt truck near the 174 mile marker in Carter County.
Several people received minor injuries in that accident.
Both salt trucks belonged to a private company under contract to KTC for snow removal operations on I-64.
