A toll booth worker was briefly trapped on Friday morning after a semi truck struck the structure, knocking it over.
The incident happened on July 29th at around 7 a.m. in Kanawha County, West Virginia.
According to WSAZ 3 News, the truck was hauling a wide load along the West Virginia Turnpike when it struck a booth at the 83 mile marker toll plaza, knocking it over.
A worker inside the booth was trapped for a short period of time before other Turnpike employees were able to help them out.

Two lanes were shut down for several hours as crews worked to remove the truck and trailer from the toll plaza.
