Plow driver dies after sliding into ditch in Christian County
CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ)- Transportation cabinet crews are mourning the loss of one of their own in Christian County.
District 2 announced Saturday, a plow driver died while plowing highways in Christian County. He was identified as 44-year-old Christopher Adams, a 16-year transportation cabinet employee. Crews say around 6 a.m., Adams called a supervisor indicating his snow plow had slid off in a ditch along KY 115. When the supervisor arrived on KY 115 Adams was slumped over in his truck seat and unresponsive. An ambulance was called to the scene. Paramedics then summoned the coroner.
They say Adams had been on the clock since about midnight and during a break overnight he interacted with other employees and appeared to be in good spirits.
KYTC District 2 Chief Engineer Kevin McClearn offered sympathy to the family and his coworkers. “Our crews are very tight knit. Working long hours in all kinds of weather you get to know the character of people around you. Losing a friend and coworker is always tough, but our Christian County Crew is continuing work today to carry on efforts to make travel safer for the rest of us.”
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
