Collision causes injury on I-70

A collision on Wednesday morning on I-70 west caused an injury to a driver, according to a Kansas Turnpike Authority trooper’s report.

The collision was at 7:15 a.m. Wednesday, when freezing fog or frost on the ground reportedly made some highways slick.

A 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix was westbound on I-70 between the I-635 and Park Drive exits when it tried to pass a semi and lost control, the trooper’s report stated.

The Grand Prix left the roadway, struck the guardrail, then re-entered the roadway and struck the semi, according to the trooper’s report. The Grand Prix then came to rest on the south shoulder.

The driver of the Grand Prix, a 29-year-old woman from Arma, Kan., was injured and taken to a hospital, according to the trooper’s report.

The driver of the semi, a 50-year-old man from Clinton, Mo., was not injured, the trooper’s report stated.
