The US 23 near Louisa in Lawrence County, KY has reopened following a wreck between a tanker truck and another vehicle.

The crash was at the intersection of US 23 and Route 32.

Sheriff Deputies tell us that a pickup pulled out in front of the tanker which was traveling south on US 23. The tanker ended up on its side, as the driver tried to avoid hitting the pickup.

The tanker was loaded with diesel fuel. Some of that fuel leaked out. That cleanup is now complete.

We’re told driver of the pickup was taken to the hospital. No word on her condition.

Very scary looking accident. BTDT. Stuff happens all the time. People just need to be more aware of what they and others around them are doing. Glad both are ok and hope both will be home for the holidays. Oh yea, quit all the bickering. That don't get you anywhere.

Hey Penny it is clear you were the one who started and continued the "childish" comments here with your Wal-mart statement. The first person to pass judgement was you. You passed judgement on this accident victim and posted here on this forum. Nobody buys that were speaking in general terms. Hey It Doesn't Matter the Wal Mart comment was very offensive, especially since I work there. You should have kept you insenstive comments to yourself. I agree with Tom and others judgmental people like yourself should not teach children, hold office, or even procreate. Imagine a doctor saying well this person must have got her drivers training at Wal-mart and deserves what she had coming to her so we'll not make much effort to help her.
