(KMZA)--A Seneca man escaped serious injury Tuesday afternoon in an unusual accident on U.S. 36 Highway in Nemaha County, about three miles west of U.S. 75 Highway.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reports a semi tractor-trailer was eastbound when it lost a wheel and tire off the driver's side axle on the trailer. The wheel and tire crossed the center line and struck a westbound Toyota Corolla driven by 43-year-old John Eppich.
Eppich was transported to a hospital by private vehicle for the treatment of possible injury.
The semi driver from Kansas City was not hurt.
The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the accident occurred around 3:45.
