A man was rescued this morning after an Ellis County Concrete truck rolled over north of Hays on 230th Avenue just after 9 a.m.

According to Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Tod Hileman, early reports from the scene indicate the driver was turning left out of the business driveway, 1648 230th Ave., when the load apparently shifted.

The concrete truck rolled, at least three-quarters of the way, landing on its passenger side in the west ditch.

Ellis County Rural Fire crews used a saw to cut off the red cab top in order to access and remove the victim.

The driver, wearing a neck collar, was seen standing upright outside the truck before an ambulance left the scene.

Ellis County EMS and the Ellis County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene.
