A semi driver escaped injury after a crash east of Emporia on Saturday night.
Emporia Fire says the crash happened on Interstate 35 near mile marker 141, or outside the Hartford-Neosho Rapids exit, around 11 pm. Details about how the crash unfolded have not been announced, but Emporia Fire says a guardrail went through the semi’s passenger window after the vehicle overturned. The driver declined a hospital trip after the wreck.
The driver’s name and destination have not been released. Kansas Department of Transportation crews have been fixing the guardrail Sunday.
