This semi crashed near the 18-mile marker of I-75 Monday.

A Lexington man suffered minor injuries when the tractor trailer he was driving crashed along I-75 Monday morning.

The crash happened about 9 a.m. about 100 yards south of the 18 mile mark.

Jermone Norman Jr., 34, was driving a 2019 International north when he lost control, over corrected and went off the roadway onto the right shoulder/ditch area, said Kentucky State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) Officer Chris McQueen.
