A Texas man was taken to Newman Regional Health following a semi accident in Chase County Sunday morning.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol crash log, the accident occurred on the Kansas Turnpike at mile marker 102.2 northbound shortly before 9 am. A semi, driven by 32-year-old Stephan Lawrence Harz of Providence Village, TX, was traveling northbound when for unknown reasons the semi left the road, struck a guardrail and concrete barrier and rolled over into the ditch.
Emporia/Lyon County EMS were called to the scene initially but were canceled en route. Emergency crews would be called out again, this time to mile marker 103.4 around 9:30 am after an ambulance was requested.
Harz was taken to Newman Regional Health with what are being called minor injuries.
