Livingston County Rescue Squad is searching the Cumberland River near Interstate 24 where the driver of a vehicle involved in an early-morning accident is missing.
Interstate 24 remains closed at the Cumberland River Bridge at the Lyon-Livingston County Line. A multi-vehicle collision, involving several commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles occurred before daylight this morning. The interstate could be closed until about 10 a.m.
The driver of a van involved in the wreck cannot be found and rescue personnel are starting to look in the river below. Fog on the river was hampering efforts shortly after sunup.
A detour has been established along U.S. 62 between I-24 Exit 31 at Grand Rivers and Exit 40 at Eddyville. However, driving conditions on U.S. 62 are reported to be hazardous due to yesterday's snow, and temperatures near zero.
