Six people were injured when multiple vehicles were involved in crashes near exit 7 on Interstate 24 and traffic in both directions was at a standstill for about 90 minutes afterwards. The suspect was arrested after a pursuit into the next county. Paducah Police say they are still gathering information, but initial reports show a Waste Path garbage truck was going the wrong way on the westbound lanes of the Interstate about 12:45 pm. Several vehicles were struck and the driver fled the scene before crossing the median and continuing east in the correct lane of travel.
