LOGAN COUNTY – One person was injured in an accident just after 7 a.m. on Friday in Logan County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2012 Mack Tractor driven by Terry Lee Simoneau, 46, Damar, was southbound on U.S. 83 near Plains Road and in front of a 1999 Kenworth Truck driven by , James E. Trussell, 53, Gering, Nebraska.

Simoneau signaled for a right turn, though he could not do so as there was no road westbound in that area.

Trussell observed this and attempted to pass on the left shoulder.

Simoneau realized he could not turn westbound, signaled for a left turn and proceeded eastbound on Plains Road.

Trussell attempted to stop but the Kenworth hit the rear of the Mack’s trailer.

The Mack rolled on its side and slid another 65 feet before coming to rest.
