FALLS OF ROUGH, Ky. – One man has been flown to a hospital after authorities say a car struck him in Grayson County on Wednesday evening.

According to the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched shortly after 5:30 p.m. to the 11000 block of Falls of Rough Road in Falls of Rough.

Deputies say 58-year-old Christopher Tanner of Falls of Rough was standing in the southbound lane of KY 79 while wearing a reflective safety vest.

Tanner and two other individuals were attempting to get a truck with a camper attached up his icy driveaway, authorities say. During this time, deputies say Tanner was waving a flashlight facing northbound.

Tanner was transported to the airport at a state park and flown to the University of Louisville Hospital. Authorities say Tanner was in serious condition.
