Traffic on Interstate 70 is close to a standstill and backed up from about the Lecompton interchange to mile marker 198, or about the Kasold overpass.

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers work the scene of a one-vehicle accident near Interstate 70's mile marker 201 just east of the Kasold Street overpass in the eastbound lane. An accident around 3:00 pm, and one person was transported by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Journal-World photographer Richard Gwin, who is on the scene, said the cause of the jam is a single-car accident near Lecompton that ended in a pickup rolling over.

Emergency dispatchers confirmed that a single patient was transported from the scene to an area hospital by a ground ambulance.
