Turnpike worker injured after truck topples into tollbooth

CHELYAN, W.Va. — A West Virginia Turnpike worker was injured Saturday after falling out of a tollbooth that was hit by a truck.

State police said it happened Saturday morning at about 9:16 when a truck carrying steel I beams, driven by Cameron Huntington, 28, of Colorado hit a southbound tollbooth near Chelyan.

John Terry, 61, of Gallagher, was working the tollbooth and fell out the window after contact from an I beam caused the booth to rock.

The tollbooth fell to the right striking a vehicle in the next lane.

Troopers said there were no serious injuries.

Huntington was ticketed for failure to maintain control of his truck.
