Officials in Wexford County are investigating a semi-tractor trailer crash that put one man in the hospital.

Just before 5 Monday afternoon, a 50-year-old man from Chicago was driving the truck and was unable to navigate a turn at the intersection of South 43 Road and East 46 Road.  He then ran off the road, causing the truck to jack-knife.

The man was able to escape and walk away from the accident before collapsing in a field nearby.

Medical officials found him soon after and had him transported to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City where he is listed in stable condition.
