(KMZA)--A Bern man escaped serious injury in a single-vehicle Nemaha County wreck Wednesday morning.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 43-year-old Shanon Don Schurman was eastbound on K-71, about two miles west of Bern, when his pickup truck left the roadway.  The vehicle struck a culvert and barbed wire fence.

Schurman was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca with what the Patrol described as possible injuries.

The report indicates Schurman was not wearing a seatbelt when the wreck occurred shortly after 10:30 Wednesday morning.
