A GoFundMe account has been set up for the Burkholder family of Hays.

The father Joshua B. Burkholder and his son, Kyle, were in an accident on Sunday after a basketball tournament in Wichita.

JB has some abdominal pain and some bleeding. He is hoping to be released from Wesley Medical in Wichita soon, the GoFundMe page said,

Kyle, has a T12 Spine fracture and also had an aortic tear, the page said. Both of Kyle's injuries will require surgery for repair. He has been moved to St. Loius.

"Though we are thankful these injuries are not life-threatening, we would like to relieve the Burkholder family of some of the burden that will be involved with the medical expenses, travel, food, hotels, etc.," the page said.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol report, Burholder's car moved to the left lane to avoid traffic backed up due to an oversized load, which was stopped. Burkholder's car rear-ended a 2015 GMC Terrain.

The driver and a passenger in the GMC were also transported to a hospital in Wichita.

The GoFundMe was created by Dustin Pfeifer. It had raised $11,275 as of this post.
