Lyon County Road Y-5 reopened to traffic several hours after a non-injury crash involving a semi.
Y-5 was closed for around five hours for cleanup.
11:45 am Friday
Lyon County deputies say a semi crashed near Hartford on Friday, causing an extended detour affecting traffic in southeast Lyon and southwest Coffey counties.
Deputy Riley Jones says deputies joined Hartford-Neosho Rapids Fire/EMS after the reported injury wreck in the 800 block of Road Y-5 around 8:35 am. Jones says a semi hauling grain was northbound when the truck veered off the east or right shoulder. The driver, 19-year-old Isaiah Moss of Yates Center, overcorrected. The semi then skidded and overturned onto its passenger side, blocking both lanes of traffic.
Moss was observed on site and declined further medical treatment.
Road crews have been working to clear the road since arriving on scene. There is currently no word on when Road Y5 will reopen. Traffic has been detoured a mile east or west of the road closure zone.
9:45 am Friday
Traffic could be blocked for a while near Hartford after what was initially reported as a possible injury crash Friday morning.
Lyon County Emergency Management Director Jarrod Fell says the wreck happened on Road Y-5. A semi carrying grain overturned for currently unlisted reasons. The crash has blocked Road Y-5 from north of Road 80 north to Road 90. Traffic is getting detoured a mile east or west around the blockage.
The driver declined a hospital trip afterward.
