CADIZ, Ky. — Two people from North Carolina were killed when their tractor-trailer ran off the road and into a stand of trees on Interstate 24 near Cadiz in western Kentucky.

Kentucky State Police said they are unsure whether 34-year-old Joseph A. Robinson of Wendell, N.C., or 55-year-old Larry D. Artis of Wilson, N.C. was driving the truck when it ran off the road at about 9:14 p.m. CDT Sunday.

Trooper Jay Thomas said investigators aren't sure if the men were wearing seatbelts.

Kentucky State Police say debris from the crash spread along such a wide area, prompting an accident reconstruction team to wait for daylight Monday.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd said westbound lanes will be restricted through most of Monday morning at crash site near mile marker 61.
