(KAIR)--A car and semi collide in Jackson County Thursday morning, sending one to the hospital.
According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, it happened shortly after 6:00, on U.S. Highway 75 at 102nd Road.
According to the Patrol, a Kenworth tractor trailer, driven by 53-year-old Ricky Dreasher, of Hoyt, was westbound on 102nd Road when he failed to yield when turning south onto the highway.
That caused a Pontiac Bonneville, driven southbound on the highway by 56-year-old Circleville resident John Boyd, Jr., to rear end the trailer.
Boyd suffered possible injuries, and was transported by Jackson County EMS to Topeka's Stormont Vail for treatment.
Dreasher was not hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
