GOVE COUNTY —One person was injured in an accident just after 3a.m. Tuesday in Gove County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2016 Volvo semi driven by Daniel B. Messenger, 46, Henderson, TN., was eastbound on Interstate 70 just west of the Kansas 198 exit.

The driver did not see an eastbound 1995 Chevy pickup driven by Ralph D. Hembree, 71, Inglis, FL., that was having trouble and driving on the shoulder at a low rate of speed. The semi side swiped the pickup.

Hembree was transported to Gove County Medical Center. Messenger was not injured and not wearing a seat belt, according to the KHP.
