Kentucky State Police is investigating an accident near the intersection of Highway 55 and Garr Ridge Road last night that resulted in a road worker being injured.
State Police say 63-year-old Tony E. Kerr of Jamestown was operating a Chevy Silverado northbound on Highway 55 a little before 7 p.m. when he struck a worker who was flagging traffic in a work zone on the highway. The worker was identified as 35-year-old Travis M. Shaw of Monticello.
Shaw was taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries.
WJRS News would like to clarify the Tony Kerr involved in this accident is not the Tony Kerr who serves as the Russell Circuit Court Clerk.
The accident is under investigation by Kentucky State Police Post 15.
