A pickup truck pulling a camper went off the roadway Friday north of Lyons, but authorities say no one was injured.
According to the Rice County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded just after the noon hour Sept. 19 to Kansas Highway 14, about two miles north of Lyons. Investigators said the truck left the roadway and overcorrected, causing the camper trailer to whip around and the vehicle to enter a ditch.
Rice County Emergency Services evaluated the driver at the scene, who declined further medical treatment.
The sheriff’s office thanked Rice County EMS, the Lyons Police Department and Lyons Wrecker Service for their quick response and assistance in clearing the highway.
Officials said they were grateful the incident resulted in no injuries — and noted that a family pet traveling in the vehicle received plenty of affection from first responders.
