On Thursday morning around 5:14 a.m. Wayne County Sheriff’s Deputies and first responders responded to a report of a vehicle off the roadway on I-64 near the 107 mile marker.  Upon arrival, they located a vehicle driven by 29-year old John Plainc of Herrin in the tree line.  Planinc stated that he was westbound on I-64 when he lost control of his 2014 Chevrolet Cruze and ran off the roadway.  Planinc was trapped in the vehicle due to a tree pinning the driver’s door shut.  First responders were able to extricate the driver and he was transported to Fairfield Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
