A woman was injured this morning when she allegedly fell asleep while driving on Interstate 70 near Oakley and crashed.
A semi driven by Deborah Kay Maidon, 52, of Wichita was eastbound on Interstate 70 four miles west of Oakley at about 6:13 a.m. today when she allegedly fell asleep, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol crash report.
The vehicle entered the median, crossing the westbound lanes. The semi then went into the north ditch, causing the driver to overcorrect, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The vehicle emerged from the north ditch, re-entering the westbound lanes and crossing the median a second time. The semi then came to rest on both eastbound lanes, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The eastbound lanes of the interstate had to be closed for a time this morning while the wreck was cleared.
Maidon received minor injuries and was taken to Logan County Hospital, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol report.
Maidon was wearing her seatbelt, according to the accident report.
