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.

Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that emergency responders were dispatched at 1:12 p.m. Tuesday to South Simpson Road, approximately 0.3 of a mile 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. 

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, Soldan said. 

The truck was towed from the scene, he added.
