TREGO COUNTY—One person was injured in an accident just after 8:30a.m. Sunday in Trego County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2005 Toyota Tacoma driven by Jesus A. Leal Guerrero, 29, Hesperia, California, was eastbound on Interstate 70 at WaKeeney.
The driver presumably fell asleep. This caused the vehicle to veer to the left and the driver's side tires to dropped off the road.
The driver overcorrected and the pickup veered back onto the roadway. The driver again overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle. It traveled across both eastbound lanes, overturned and came to rest in the south ditch.
EMS transported Leal Guerrero to the Trego County Hospital. He was properly restrained, according to the KHP.
