(KNZA)--A Monday afternoon single-vehicle Jackson County wreck sent a Topeka man to the hospital.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, in a news release, said it happened around 3:30 on U.S. 75 Highway in southern Jackson County.

Morse said an off-duty Jackson County Sheriff's deputy observed a northbound 2011 Camry traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle left the highway near 174th Road.

The driver, identified as 68-year-old Robert Way, was transported by Jackson County EMS to a Topeka hospital with disabling injuries.

Morse said the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating whether alcohol contributed to the wreck.
