(KMZA)--A semi driver was injured Thursday morning in a single-vehicle wreck in Pottawatomie County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 30-year-old Willie Edward Bass IV , of Kansas City, Kansas, was eastbound on K-16 when his semi left the south side of  the roadway and struck a guard rail.  The semi then crossed to the north and struck the north guard rail before continuing through the ditch.

The rig came to rest blocking both lanes of travel on K-16.  

Bass was transported to the Onaga Community Hospital for the treatment of unspecified injuries.   

The Patrol says Bass was buckled up when the wreck occurred around 8:00 Thursday morning near Forbes Road.
