Date of News Release: 04/29/2009

(Madisonville, Ky.) -- Mr. Lonnie Anderson was operating a 2003 Ford Explorer Eastbound on Interstate 24. It has been determined during the investigation that his vehicle was struck by a 1999 International Semi, driven by Mr. Martin Henriquez. Mr. Henriquez's vehicle hit the Ford Explorer causing it to cross the median into the westbound lane. Once in the westbound lane the explorer hit a 2007 Kenworth driven by Mr. Kevin Wissell.
