A 46-year-old Topeka man was flown via air ambulance to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., on Wednesday night following a single vehicle rollover accident on U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence.
About 8:30 p.m. Harry Balazs was driving a Chevrolet pickup truck west on the highway when his vehicle left the roadway, hit a driveway culvert and turned over, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol dispatcher.
Balazs was ejected from the vehicle. The extent of his injuries was unknown late Wednesday night.
The section of U.S. Highway 40 between East 300 and East 400 roads was temporarily shut down and traffic was rerouted.
According to a hospital official, the man's condition was unavailable Wednesday night.

Funny and funnier, not the wreck but the stupid post.

My guess would be from over correcting a vehicle with a high center of gravity such as an SUV.

Not sure that I am actualy capable of rolling more than 1 car at a time. being in two cars would be very difficult. Anyhow its a great thing you are so worried about someone being hurt that you could show us how bright you are with this comment

I bet it involved a cell phone...

It may have involved someone talking on a cell phone. However I think the reason they printed this article was to let everyone know that there was an accident and the road was closed. I do not think the ljw believes it has the best CSI's living right here in town

"How do you roll 1 vehicle????"Have you never seen an episode of the A-Team?

"I think the reason they printed this article was to let everyone know that there was an accident and the road was closed."I don't know how many people have intenet access while they are driving?

ExxonMcCain~ Let's see... how many ways/combinations can we count? Excessive speed, curve in the road (approached with excessive speed), attempting to avoid hitting a deer, dog, or other animal, attempting to avoid head-on collision with someone else who was passing irresponsibly, hitting oil or gravel patch in road (possibly while traveling at excessive speed)..... Can you envision any of these possibilities now or do we all have to spell out a few more?Life is precious and fleeting. Any one of us could be traveling along at one moment, enjoying the evening, and (due to factors we may or may not be able to control) suddenly find ourselves in a rollover or other type of accident.Enjoy what's left of your evening, everybody, and send positive thoughts to the victim(s) of this accident. May they fully recover from whatever injuries they may have sustained.

Igby must be speaking of our highly educated first post of the evening.
