<<WICHITA, KS -- An Oklahoma truck driver is now out of a Kansas hospital after being seriously injured when he crashed into a ***toll plaza***.
Richard Norton of Pauls Valley had been hospitalized in Wichita since the accident on January 13th.
Authorities say Norton apparently fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the ***toll plaza*** on Interstate 35, just north of the Oklahoma state line.
A worker in the ***toll booth*** saw the truck coming toward him and was able to get out of the booth and escape injury.>>

Depending on what your contractor does, it COULD be just the pavement, cables, drains, etc. of the toll plaza, not the actual booths or roof structure.
