SALINE COUNTY—Two people from the Kansas City area were transported to Salina Regional Health Center (SRHC) after a box truck went off the road east of Salina Tuesday afternoon.
Just after 1p.m., emergency responders were dispatched to South Simpson Road, just north of East Magnolia Road, where a white, 2019 HINO box truck belonging to MHC Truck Leasing had gone off the road and into a wheat field, according to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.
The driver, Delmas Williams, 44, of Lenexa, told deputies that the truck was southbound on South Simpson Road when it caught a gust of wind and went off the west side of the road into a wheat field, Soldan said. The truck was loaded with electronics and furniture, he added.
Williams and a passenger, Mason Lockamy, 20, of Kansas City, Mo., were transported by Salina EMS to SRHC with minor injuries.
