(KNZA)--A Mayetta man was injured Monday morning when the skid loader he was driving struck a semi-tractor trailer in Jackson County near Hoyt.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 53-year-old Marshall Persinger was eastbound on 118th Road when he failed to yield the right-of-way to a northbound semi on U.S. 75 and struck the left rear axle of the semi.

Persinger was transported to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Hospital with what the Patrol described as disabling injuries.

The semi driver, 52-year-old Havensville resident Doug Jacobson, was not hurt.

The wreck was reported around 9:15 Monday morning.
