One transported to hospital after rollover at Sixth and Wakarusa

A 52-year-old Overbrook woman was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after a single-car rollover accident early Saturday morning.

The passenger of the car, a 40-year-old man from Overbrook, refused medical assistance at the scene, near the intersection of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

The woman who was driving the car was treated and released from LMH.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical personnel extracted the driver from the car, which was resting on its left side, about 30 minutes after the crash was reported.

The car was headed westbound on Sixth Street when the driver attempted to turn south onto Wakarusa Drive.

The car hit a utility pole on the west side of Wakarusa Drive and overturned. Lawrence police responded to emergency dispatch at 12:20 a.m.

Lawrence police were still investigating whether wet roads might have played a role in the accident.
