Crash reported near construction area on I-70

A crash was reported near a construction area from eastbound I-70 to northbound I-635 on early Sunday morning, according to a trooper’s report.

The one-vehicle accident took place as a Chevrolet Traverse was driving at 4:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 18, from westbound I-70 to northbound I-635 on the ramp, according to a Kansas Turnpike Authority trooper’s report.

The Traverse was on the exit ramp from eastbound I-70 to northbound I-635 when it drifted to the left into a closed construction area and struck several cones and a metal road barricade, the trooper’s report stated. The Traverse then traveled off the right side of the ramp and struck the base of an overhead sign post with the front end, the report stated.

The driver of the Traverse, a 39-year-old Bonner Springs woman, had a possible minor injury and was taken to a hospital, according to the trooper’s report.
