(KNZA)--A semi crashed Thursday morning in Brown County, with the Kansas Highway Patrol reporting the Seneca driver required hospital treatment following the crash.

According to the KHP, 68-year-old David Gress was eastbound on U.S. 36, about two miles east of Fairview, when he lost the left front tire on his semi, causing the rig to travel into the north ditch and rollover.

As the semi did so, its tire struck another vehicle, driven by 45-year-old Hiawatha resident John Zimmers, who was not hurt.

Gress suffered what KHP identifies as a suspected serious injury, and he was transported for hospital treatment in Kansas City, Kansas.

Both drivers were buckled up when the crash happened around 7:00 Thursday morning.
