A Laurel County man was injured after a single vehicle rollover on the LBN Cumberland Parkway.
On Friday, July 14, 2023 at 09:33amCT, Adair County 911 received a report of an accident around the 39 mile marker westbound on the Parkway. The caller advised dispatchers that a vehicle had overturned after striking a rock wall.
The preliminary investigation by Deputy Jason Camfield shows the 2003 Ford Ranger was being operated by 72-year-old Robert Centers of Laurel county.
