A Texas teenager was hospitalized after a head-on collision with a semi-truck near Strong City, Kansas. According to the Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log, the incident occurred on Saturday, July 15th at around 1 p.m. Emergency services were alerted to a two-vehicle crash at the K-177-Highway 50 Junction in Chase County.
Upon arrival, officials discovered that an eastbound 2015 Nissan Frontier driven by Dylan E. Chastain, an 18-year-old from Saginaw, Texas, had collided head-on with a westbound 2018 Freightliner semi-truck driven by Mihail Wendt, aged 34 and hailing from Spring, Texas. The collision occurred when Chastain attempted to pass another semi-truck he had been following within a no-passing zone.
