Nebraska man injured in Holt County MO wreck

(KLZA)-- A Clarkson, Nebraska man was hospitalized following a wreck in Holt County, Missouri early Saturday morning. 

The Missouri Highway Patrol reports 65-year-old Thomas Vrba was northbound on Interstate 29 at approximately 2:30 A.M., when his 2020 Freightliner semi went off the east side of the roadway, struck a guardrail,  returned to the road and then traveled off the east side of the road again striking a bridge.  The truck then overturned as it slid down an embankment, coming to rest on the drivers side.

Vrba was transported to the Mosaic Life Care Hospital in St. Joseph by the Atchison-Holt Emergency Medical Service with what were described as moderate injuries.  

The truck was totaled.  The Holt County Sheriff's Office and Missouri Department of Transportation also responded to the scene.
