(KAIR)--An early Thursday morning single-vehicle Atchison County wreck sent a Effingham man to the hospital.
According to a report from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie, 31-year-old Christopher Lee was operating a 2000 Chevy Silverado pickup truck in the 9-thousand block of K-9 Highway when he fell asleep.
Lee crossed over into the oncoming lane before exiting the roadway. His vehicle traveled a short distance before going airborne over a drainage culvert. Lee's vehicle struck an embankment on the opposite side, traveling a short distance into a pasture where it caught fire.
Laurie said Lee was transported by Atchison County EMS to the Amberwell Hospital in Atchison for the treatment of unknown injuries.
The wreck was reported shortly before 3:30.
