ELLIS COUNTY—Two people were  injured in an accident just before 4p.m. Monday in Ellis County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2009 Volvo semi driven by Abdikarim J. Muse, 25, Minneapolis, Minnesota, was westbound on Interstate 70 just west of 380th Avenue. The semi left the roadway to the south, crossed the median, overturned and came to rest on its driver's side blocking both westbound lanes of Interstate 70.

An eastbound 2016 GMC Sierra driven by Derek A  Miller, 35, Clarksville, Tennessee, collided with the overturned semi. 

EMS transported Muse and Miller to Hays Medical Center. Both drivers were properly restrained, according to the KHP.
