KANSAS CITY- A pickup truck driver was injured in an accident just before 2 p.m. on Saturday in Wyandotte County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2005 Chevy pickup pulling a trailer with three golf carts and driven by Gerald D. Smith, 44, Gallatin, Mo., was northbound on I-435 just north of Donahoo.

For an unknown reason the truck left the roadway to the left, came across all lanes of northbound traffic, left the roadway to the right, went down the embankment, struck a creek, and caught fire.

Smith was transported to KU Medical Center.

The KHP reported he was not wearing a seat belt.
