BARTON COUNTY —One person was injured in an accident just after 5:30p.m. Tuesday in Barton County.
A 2001 Dodge Dakota driven by James Miller, 53, rural Albert, was traveling in the 700 block of W. Barton County Road, according to Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir.
The driver swerved to avoid striking a deer. The pickup struck two mailboxes, entered the north ditch, struck a culvert and overturned.
The Great Bend Fire Department was able to extract Miller from the vehicle and he was transported to the University of Kansas Health Care Great Bend Campus for non-life-threatening injuries.
