(KNZA)--Monday morning rain is blamed for a single-vehicle semi-tractor trailer crash in Jackson County.
WIBW-TV reports it happened on U.S. Highway 75, shortly before 8:00 Monday morning, when the southbound big rig, about 3-miles south of Mayetta, hydroplaned on the highway, sending the truck onto its side, blocking both southbound lanes of the highway for a time Monday morning, until they could be reopened less than an hour after the wreck.
Citing Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, the TV station reports that the driver, identified as a Topeka resident, reportedly incurred minor injuries but refused ambulance transport for hospital care.
Along with the Sheriff's Office, other responding agencies included Jackson County Emergency Management, and the Hoyt, Mayetta, and Potawatomie Tribal fire departments.
