SHERMAN COUNTY —One person was injured in an accident just after 1p.m. Wednesday in Sherman County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2012 Freightliner semi driven by  C.E. Tubensvelazquez, 26, New York, NY., was eastbound on Interstate 70 four miles east of Kansas 267.

The semi left the roadway to the right and the driver over-corrected. The vehicle then crossed both lanes of travel, continued through the median, overturned, and blocked both lanes of westbound traffic.

EMS transported Tubensvelazquez to the hospital in Goodland. He was properly restrained, according to the KHP..
