Tractor Trailer crash on i-44

An eastbound tractor-trailer left the roadway early this morning just east of Rangeline Road on I-44.

The driver went into the median and continued to drive between the two bridges. The truck continued until it fell over 30-feet to the railroad tracks below.

The truck driver was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The damage from this crash impacted the Kansas City Southern Railway tracks as well as the semi and cargo.

Cleanup is expected to last into this evening with some traffic congestion expected periodically on I-44.
