(KAIR)--A McLouth semi-truck driver was injured Thursday afternoon in a single-vehicle wreck on I-70 in Leavenworth County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 57-year-old Russell Brown was westbound when his driver's side front tire failed.  Brown lost control of his semi-truck, which struck a concrete median barrier wall.

He was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City with unspecified injuries.

The Patrol says Brown was buckled up when the wreck happened shortly before 1:30 Thursday afternoon.
