Null was first taken to Horton Community Hospital but then transferred to the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas
The Patrol says Null was not wearing a safety restraint.
Investigators remained on the scene into the evening, with the truck and trailer observed to have rolled well off the roadway into an adjacent field.
