(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man, traveling on the Kansas Turnpike in Wyandotte County, suffered what's identified as "suspected serious" injuries, following a Wednesday afternoon, two vehicle crash, on I-70.
Injured, according to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, was 40-year-old Brian Parker, who was transported to Overland Park Regional Hospital for treatment.
He was not buckled up at the time of the wreck, which happened around 3:45.
The report states that Parker was westbound in lane 3 of I-70, when his Ford Ranger pickup truck left the roadway to the right, entered the grass, then came back onto the interstate broadside, causing the front of a semi tractor trailer, which had been westbound in front of him, to strike the driver side door of the pickup, causing the pickup to overturn onto its passenger side. The semi then continued to push the pickup, laying on its side, from lane 3 to lane 1 for a short distance.
The semi driver, from Cowgill, Missouri, was not hurt.
