(KNZA)--A two-vehicle Tuesday afternoon Brown County wreck left a Dawson, Nebraska man injured.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of U.S. 36 and Falcon Road shortly before 1:30.

The Patrol says 65-year-old John Manley was stopped in the eastbound lane of U.S. 36 attempting to turn north onto Falcon Road when an eastbound semi tractor-trailer attempted to pass his Ford Explorer on the right to avoid a rear-end collision. Manley made a maneuver into the right turning lane in an attempt to avoid being struck and the semi struck the right passenger door of his SUV.

Manley was transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital and later flown to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City with what the Patrol described as disabling injuries.

The semi driver, 64-year-old Wymore, Nebraska resident Larry Sommerville, was not hurt.

The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck occurred.
