The male driver of the Chevrolet half-ton pick-up truck involved in an accident on Kansas Highway 10 on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 6, was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center. He was in critical condition. The accident was caused when a trailer came loose from the truck hauling it and crossed the median from the east-bound lane to the west-bound lane and struck the Chevrolet pick-up on its roof. The hauler of the trailer was not injured. West-bound K-10 is closed at Kill Creek Road and traffic is being diverted through De Soto to the Lexington Avenue exit. by Laura Herring
A white pick-up truck was traveling east on Kansas Highway 10 when the trailer it was hauling came loose and crossed the median, striking a black, Chevrolet half-ton pick-up truck on the roof at approximately 4 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 6. The driver of the black pick-up, registered in Missouri, was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center in critical condition. A third vehicle, a maroon sedan, was also involved in the accident, striking the black pick-up after avoiding the loose trailer. The female driver of that vehicle sustained minor injuries and was also transported to OPRMC. The driver of the white pick-up sustained no injuries.
The Kansas Highway Patrol is in charge of the scene and has the west-bound lanes of K-10 closed at Kill Creek Road. Drivers are being redirected through De Soto to the Lexington Avenue exit. Officers are expecting the area to be closed for the next few hours.
