A 49-year-old Tonganoxie man was killed in an early-morning accident Sunday on the Kansas Turnpike.

Jeffrey Jacobs was driving his 2000 GMC SUV eastbound in Kansas City, Kan., near the Kansas Speedway when the vehicle entered the ditch on the south side of the road, according to a report from the Kansas Turnpike Authority.

Jacobs over-corrected and struck the back side of the guard rail. The vehicle then flipped on its top and traveled upside down more than 200 feet. The vehicle ultimately came to rest on the driver’s side door, on the right-hand shoulder.

The accident was reported about 3:45 Sunday morning and part of Interstate 70 was shut down for several hours while Kansas Highway Patrol troopers investigated the accident.
