BROOKVILLE - An Ellsworth man was injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident a few miles east of Brookville on Kansas Highway 140 (K-140) Wednesday afternoon.

Sidney Lloyd, 41, of Ellsworth, was eastbound on K-140 east of Reese Road just before 2 p.m. Wednesday when his 2007 Jeep Liberty hit a snow patch and he lost control of the vehicle, Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning. The Liberty went off the roadway, rolled once, and came to rest on its wheels.

Lloyd complained of neck pain but declined EMS transport to Salina Regional Health Center, instead opting to go there by personal vehicle, according to Soldan.

The Liberty was "pretty well destroyed," Soldan said.

Additionally, Soldan said there were several vehicle slide-offs and vehicles that became stuck throughout the county because of the storm Wednesday.
