A Maitland man was left with minor injuries after a one-vehicle accident in Holt County Tuesday afternoon.

The Highway Patrol says 54-year-old Dean E. Hawn was driving a 2015 Mack truck westbound on Missouri Route 113 about four miles south of Maitland at 2:35 P.M. Tuesday when the vehicle went off the north side of the roadway. Hawn over corrected which sent the truck back onto the roadway where it began to skid.

The truck went across the eastbound lane and off the south side of the roadway, where Hawn again overcorrected sending the truck back onto the roadway where it overturned onto its drivers side and began to skid going off the south side of the roadway and coming to rest.

Hawn was reportedly wearing a seat belt at the time but still suffered minor injuries. He was taken by private vehicle to Urgent Express in St. Joseph for treatment.
