accidentA truck driver from Kansas only sustained minor injuries when he apparently fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his rig on southbound U.S. 31 early this morning.

Authorities were notified of the wreck near the Veterans Parkway exchange around 3 a.m. They say the truck driven by 34-year-old Zachrey J. Hart of Kansas left the southbound lanes of U.S. 31, went into the grass center median, back up onto the southbound lanes and overturned onto its driver’s side. The wreck shut down the highway for several hours for roadway cleanup.
