OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) -

A two vehicle accident shut down both southbound lanes of the Natcher Parkway for two hours early Tuesday morning just outside of Owensboro.

Authorities say a car lost control around 3:00 a.m. and hit a pulled over semi that had a flat tire. The driver of the car was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The truck driver wasn't hurt.

The truck was hauling animal feed which spilled along the roadway. Authorities cleaned up what they could, but are warning motorists any leftover feed could attract deer.

"One of our concerns obviously in this rural area are deer, and the deer, they'll gravitate toward this feed on the side of the road and we need to get as much of it cleaned up as we can," said Major J.D. Marksberry with the Daviess County Sheriff's Office.
