A Salina man and his passenger were transported to Salina Regional Health Center early this morning after a single vehicle accident on Interstate 135 in southern Saline County.

Saline County Sheriff's Lieutenant Jeremiah Hayes said this morning that James Coffman, 31, of Salina, was northbound on I-135 near mile marker 79 at approximately 1:50 a.m. Monday when he fell asleep.

The 2001 Dodge Caravan he was driving struck the inside rail and then went across the roadway and into the ditch.

Coffman and a passenger were transports to Salina Regional Health Center, Hayes said.
