Water bottle a factor in I-70 crash

A water bottle that fell on the floor of a Dodge utility truck played a role in a crash on eastbound I-70, east of I-435, about 8:48 a.m. today in Wyandotte County.

According to the Kansas Turnpike Authority trooper’s report, the water bottle fell on the floorboard and rolled behind the driver’s brake pedal.

The driver, a 21-year-old Bonner Springs woman, was not able to stop, the report stated.

The Dodge truck was approaching a Ford truck stopped in traffic because of another crash, according to the report.

The Dodge driver tried an avoidance maneuver on the left shoulder, was not able to get her vehicle completely on the left shoulder, and struck the Ford truck in the rear, the trooper’s report stated.

The driver of the Dodge truck had a possible injury, and the driver of the Ford truck, a 42-year-old Leavenworth man, also had a possible injury, according to the report. A passenger in the Ford truck, a 29-year-old Leavenworth man, also had a possible injury, the report stated.
