Ladder on I-35 results in truck leaving roadway

A vehicle lost a ladder on I-35 northbound, just north of 18th Street in Kansas City, Kan., which resulted in a pickup truck going off the roadway about 11:19 a.m. Dec. 6, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper’s crash report.

The 1999 Chevrolet S10 pickup was northbound on I-35 when another vehicle swerved to avoid the ladder in the road, forcing the S10 pickup off the roadway, the trooper’s report stated.

The report stated that there was no contact among the pickup truck, the other vehicle that swerved and the vehicle that dropped the ladder.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 56-year-old man from Shawnee, Kan., had a possible injury and was taken to a hospital, the trooper’s report stated.
