The accident occurred around 6:00 p.m. when Juan Antonio Fuentes, 33, of Russell Springs, was eastbound on KY 80 in a 2011 Chevrolet pickup and lost control of the truck in a curve, resulting in the auto crossing the westbound lane, leaving the roadway, striking a utility pole, traveling back onto the roadway and crossing both lanes, leaving the roadway a second time, striking a concrete culvert, traveling through a ditch line, then finally coming to a final rest at the edge of another culvert and woodline.
Fuentes was transported by Russell County EMS personnel to the Russell County Hospital where he was examined and treated in the Emergency Room for a possible leg injury and was later released from medical care.
Fuentes was cited by Det. Joey Hoover to appear in Russell District Court on April 25th for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.
