(KMZA)--A Wednesday afternoon single-vehicle Nemaha County wreck sent a Sabetha man to the hospital.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, 52-year-old Gary Elliott was eastbound on K-71, just east of L Road, when he was distracted and his semi-truck's right tires ran off the south side of the roadway, leading to the crash.

Elliott was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, in Seneca, for the treatment of possible injuries.

The Patrol says Elliott was wearing a seatbelt when the wreck occurred shortly before 1:30 Wednesday afternoon.
