QUINTER — A Kansas semi driver was injured in an accident just before 1 a.m. on Wednesday in Gove County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2005 Peterbilt semi driven by Ty Virgil Renz, 22, Rush Center, was westbound on Interstate 70 in Gove County when the driver swerved to miss a deer.
The truck left the roadway, the driver attempted to correct it and came back onto the roadway and hit a guardrail, which caused the trailer to swerve to the left. The trailer turned over onto its passenger side and came to rest partially in the median, blocking both lanes of traffic.
Renz was transported to Gove County Medical Center.
The KHP reported he was properly restrained at the time of the accident.
