Driver hospitalized after semi rolls on I-70

TREGO COUNTY — One person was injured in an accident just before 12:30p.m. Wednesday in Trego County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2016 International semi driven by Charles Jackson, 30, New Orleans, LA., was westbound on Interstate 70 just west of Riga Road.

The straps on the semi’s trailer came loose and sheets of wood start falling off the trailer causing the semi to drive onto the right shoulder, drop off the shoulder and roll over into the ditch.

Jackson was transported to the hospital in WaKeeney. He was properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.
