THOMAS COUNTY—A Kansas man was injured in an accident just after 11a.m. Monday in Thomas County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2004 Western Star Semi driven by Tyler D. Deshazo, 31, Colby, was northbound on U.S. 83 Highway near County Road 36.
The vehicle was unable to come to a stop and yield to other traffic that was legally stopped in the northbound lane waiting for another vehicle to make a righthand, south turn.
The semi left the roadway to the right, traveled over County Road 36, struck a dirt embankment and came to a rest east of County Road 36 onto its passenger side, spilling all of trailer's grain.
EMS transported Deshazo to the hospital in Colby. He was properly restrained, according to the KHP.
