A Kentucky Transportation Cabinet employee has died while plowing highways in Christian County, according to KYTC spokesman Keith Todd.

Todd identified the employee as Christopher Adams. Adams started his shift around midnight. Todd reports Adams had called his supervisor around 5:50 a.m. to report his plow had slid off KY 115.

Adams was found slumped over his seat and unresponsive by his supervisor.

Following a response from area paramedics, Adams was pronounced dead by the county coroner. Adams had worked for the cabinet for 16 years.
