At approximately 12:30 p.m. on September 11, a call was issued regarding an overturned grain truck on E. Miller Saw Mill Rd. Driving the tractor and trailer was Kenny Simpson who received head injuries. He was driven to St Vincent’s helipad by Salem Ambulance Service for a helicopter stat flight to UofL Hospital in Louisville.
As the truck went off the road rolling onto the passenger side, the trailer broadcast a large amount of soybean as it turned over in a yard near 1000 block of E. Miller Saw Mill Rd.
The trailer knocked down a utility pole at ground level. Jackson County Rural Electric was called to detach the electric wires and communication cables from the pole that laid over the truck.
Responding from the Washington Co. Sheriffs Dept. was Sergeant Matt Hein and Officer Mark Blackman. From the Salem Fire Dept. was Capt. Max Gamble, Lt. Travis Branaman and Dylan Williams. On the scene also was John Shawler of the Pierce Polk Fire Dept.
