Cattle truck overturned on I-24

UPDATE: One eastbound lane is now open.

Motorists traveling through Lyon County toward Nashville on I-24 will have to detour this morning. A tractor-trailer hauling cattle has overturned and crashed in a creek. Some cattle are running at large along the interstate. The eastbound lanes of the interstate are closed at this time. Kentucky Department of Transportation officials say the interstate could be closed for up to four hours. Other accidents have been reported in that area. Use caution when approaching.
