(KNZA)--Icy road conditions are blamed for a single-vehicle wreck late Wednesday morning on a Brown County road that sent two to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 53-year-old Daniel Post, of Hiawatha, was westbound on 240th Road, east of Mulberry Road, when he lost control of the Dodge Dakota he was driving on the slick road.   His vehicle entered the south ditch and rolled 2-3 times, coming to rest in an adjacent field.

Post and a passenger, 53-year-old Independence, Missouri resident Dorsey Simpson, were transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital.

Brown County Sheriff John Merchant says both were trapped in the vehicle and had to be removed by emergency personnel.

The Patrol says neither occupant was wearing a seatbelt when the wreck occurred shortly after 11:00.

Assisting at the scene were the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, Sac and Fox Tribal Police, Squad 48, Town and Country Ambulance along with Hiawatha and Robinson Fire Departments.
