(KAIR)--An icy Jackson County roadway is cited as playing a role in an early Wednesday morning crash, south of Soldier, that sent the driver to the hospital.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a release, says the rollover wreck happened on K-62 Highway, south of 238th Road and a mile north of K-16, when the driver of a southbound pickup truck lost control on the icy roadway of K-62, causing the truck to overturn multiple times, ejecting the driver.

The driver, who was traveling alone, was transported to a Topeka Hospital, by Jackson County EMS, for the treatment of what Morse calls "serious and life threatening injuries."

The name of the driver has not been made public.

Along with the Sheriff's Office and EMS, the Soldier and Holton Fire Departments assisted at the scene of the wreck, which happened shortly after 6:30 Wednesday morning.
