On Thursday, the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) reported a four-vehicle crash that occurred about 7 miles northwest of White City in Morris County. The accident involved a Dodge Journey and a Kenworth semi-truck that collided head-on.
According to KHP crash logs, at around 9:00 am, the driver of the Dodge Journey, identified as a 43-year-old man was heading north on U-77 while a 34-year-old man was driving southbound in his Kenworth semi-truck. For an unknown reason, the Dodge Journey crossed over into the opposite lane and crashed into the Kenworth semi-truck.
The impact caused both vehicles to spin out of control and hit two other cars - a Hyundai Tucson driven by another 43-year-old woman and a Ford Econoline operated by a 57-year-old man who tried to avoid hitting them but ended up colliding with the truck anyway.
Fortunately, all drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of impact. However, they sustained injuries from minor to moderate severity levels. The driver of the Dodge Journey was taken to Ascension Via Christi Hospital with suspected minor injuries while complaints of pain were reported for those riding inside or operating other vehicles involved in this incident.
The driver and female passenger inside Hyundai Tuscon were transported to Flint Hills Stormont Vail Health Campus with suspected minor injuries. Meanwhile, KHP crash logs indicate that Driver of Ford Econoline also received medical attention after being taken to Ascension Via Christi Hospital due to suspected minor injuries.
As per standard protocol during accidents like these where multiple people are injured or killed due to reckless driving behavior such as crossing lanes without warning signs present; authorities will investigate further what led up until this point before making any conclusions regarding fault liability issues related specifically towards each individual involved within said collision scene itself.
