An accident in a construction zone on I-70 near mile marker 233 sent a 37-year-old Missouri man to the hospital Wednesday morning.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, around 10:00 am Brent Nuest, 33, of Ellinwood, was driving his 1998 Kenworth through a construction zone in Lincoln County when he turned through the median and failed to yield to another truck driven by Larry Dinwiddie of Marshfield, Missouri. Dinwidde was able to avoid a collision with Nuest by turning into the south ditch, where his truck rolled onto its side.
Nuest was uninjured. Dinwiddie was transported to Salina Regional Health Center with possible injuries.
Both men were wearing seatbelts.
No further information was released.
