A Tennessee trucker blamed a bunny for the crash in which he was involved Sunday afternoon west of Altamont.

47-year-old Abraham Lam Kut of Cordova, Tennessee told Illinois State Police he swerved to miss a rabbit that crossed Illinois Route 128 about four miles north of the intersection with US Route 40. Kut lost control of the rig, which overturned, blocking both lanes of Route 128 for a time.

Kut was injured and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham. He was cited for improper lane usage. 

The crash happened at 1:26pm Sunday.
