TREGO COUNTY —Two people were injured in an accident just before noon Saturday in Trego County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2000 Toyota Tundra driven by Austin R. Luero, 19, Shafter, California was eastbound on Interstate 70 just east of the WaKeeney exit.
The pickup left the roadway to the north, entered the median and the driver overcorrected.
The pickup returned to the eastbound lanes. The driver overcorrected again and the pickup started rotating, slid sideways, entered the median again, traveled down the embankment, struck a drain grate, tipped and rolled.
EMS transported Lucero and a passenger Murphy W. Maino, 17 Bakersfield, California, to Trego County Lemke Memorial Hospital. Both were properly restrained, according to the KHP.
